Strengthening your muscles can help protect you against bone loss and improve bone mineral density so bones are less susceptible to osteoporosis. Strength training can also improve insulin sensitivity, particularly for those who have type 2 diabetes. The more muscle, the greater the capacity and efficiency for using glucose. Read More..
