Exercise Hormone found to improve Insulin and Diabetes

Improve insulin health and prevent diabetes by doing exercise and increase physical activity level.. A new study in the journal Nature found new hormone that is produced during muscle contractions that elevates fat burning and turns white fat into brown fat. Higher levels of this hormone called irisin also promote insulin sensitivity and improve glucose tolerance, even when on high fat diet, making exercise essential for speeding up your metabolism and keeping you energized.

You're maybe wondering why turning white fat into brown fat would be good thing. White fat makes up subcutaneous fat that is right below the skin , and visceral abdominal fat that is deep inside the body and surrounds the organs. Subcutaneous fat is inert and just sits around making you look fat, whereas visceral fat is metabolically active, producing substances called adipokines that increase blood pressure, create more fat, and decrease insulin sensitivity. Visceral fat is  bad. In contrast, brown fat is not so bad because it is metabolically active in that it requires energy and burns calories. It's purpose is to generate heat and keep us warm and is found in larger proportions in children and babies.
