I came across this
article about a college
football player who has diabetes. That's not a trivial thing: he plays on
The University of Alabama's Crimson Tide, one of the elite college teams in the
US. They train hard, and the games are grueling with high impact collisions. He
actually wears his insulin pump during games.
That made me think
about the benefits of Nordic walking. Chronic diseases like diabetes don't have
to stop you, and physical activity yields benefits if you're managing chronic
illness. That's where Nordic walking can help. The full body effort is invigorating,
and the exercise's low impact means you can do it regularly.
