Canadian researchers found improvements in managing blood sugar only occurred with higher intensity workouts, according to the study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

“The ability to manage blood sugar is a direct consequence of a couple of things, including the ability of the muscles to take glucose out of the blood and store it for use as fuel,” said the study’s lead author, Robert Ross, a professor in the school of kinesiology and health studies at Queens University in Ontario. “As we become sedentary, our muscles become sedentary, too, and we can become insulin resistant.”

As time goes on, that insulin resistance can turn into full-blown diabetes, Ross said.

And why you shouldn’t either!

They may have been touted as the ultimate diet food during the low-fat/no-fat craze of the late 1980s and 1990s, but don’t be fooled. Rice cakes can have a glycemic index rating as high as 91 (pure glucose has a rating of 100), making it the kind of carbohydrate that will send your blood sugar on a roller coaster ride. This is bad for weight loss and for your health.
