A
recent study (The
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism)
found that having a higher muscle mass was associated with better
insulin sensitivity and a lower risk of diabetes. In fact it was
even mentioned that a very low muscle mass was a risk factor for
insulin resistance. So the take home message is to build quality
muscle through various types of resistance training. Some of the
best muscle-building exercises are push-ups, pull-ups, inverted body
weight rows, squats, leg press, deadlifts and bench press and lat pulldowns.
