Approximately 20 million people in the US have peripheral neuropathy, a nerve disorder that causes pain and other symptoms. While there are medications for pain relief, the root cause is often high glucose levels. Exercise has been shown to help preserve and regenerate nerves. Three key exercises for neuropathy include aerobic exercise, balance training, and stretching. Dynamic stretching before a workout can enhance energy and nerve signals. Balance training can reduce stiffness and prevent falls. Leg and calf raises and calf rises are good exercises to strengthen muscles. Stretching exercises, such as calf stretches and seated hamstring stretches, can improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury. Incorporating these exercises into a routine can improve flexibility, warm up effectively, and minimize the risk of injury. It is important to take supplements and eat well. Share this video with friends and family to help them feel better. 3 simple and highly effective home exercises I'm going to tell you today to combat neuropathy. Super effective. Did you know that approximately 20 million people in this country, in the US alone, living with a type of peripheral neuropathy, knowingly or unknowingly, this nerve damage is a disorder that causes pain, numbness, tingling in the hands or feet, along with some other bothersome symptoms. It could be muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, cramps, poor balance, reduced ability to feel pain or temperature, even some stomach problems, erectile dysfunction, a lot of things can happen from neuropathy. Now, treatment options primarily revolve around the pain relief, like Neurontin, Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, etc. But the root cause is actually typically something else, it's the high glucose, etc., and there are some exciting news from the studies which show that exercise, some of the exercise, not every exercise, has been proven to help preserve the nerve function and even promote the nerve regeneration. Now, nerve regeneration is not easy, right, so we have to do everything we can. Most of you are using sugar MD, alpha lipoic acid, benfotiamine, or neuropathy support, or you're combining all three for the maximum benefit, and we get great feedback for this, great. However, I think you should still have some lifestyle adjustments to improve your results even better. So, like I said, our products are available at sugarmds.com or Amazon with the Sugar MD brand. Again, just because you're taking the supplements doesn't mean that you should ignore the importance of exercising combating the neuropathy. So let's review what we can do when it comes to these simple, simple, simple exercises that you can do to get rid of neuropathy, and you can incorporate these just three key type of exercises into your routine. It will work wonders. You can do aerobic exercise all the time. Aerobic exercise, you already know, you know, taking a walk or swimming, etc. You all, I'm hoping, are trying to do that. However, we're going to talk about more of a balance and stretching today. Now, before you jump into your workout, I would say also take a moment always, always, whatever exercise it can be, to warm up those muscles with some dynamic stretching, such as arm circles, right? So Erland, I want you to show, find a stock image that shows exactly what I'm describing, like very similar to what I'm describing. It shouldn't be like weird, something that's from a stock image that doesn't show what I'm saying. But try to find images from YouTube or whatever, from somewhere to incorporate as a B-roll to show exactly what I'm describing for those people to do. So all right, let's start back to the neck. Well, in addition to promoting flexibility and enhancing blood flow, this pre-workout ritual will supercharge your energy levels and awaken your nerve signals, ensuring that you are ready to tackle any challenges of exercise that comes your way. Now, if you're experiencing stiffness and weakness in your muscles and joints, peripheral neuropathy will sometimes leave you feeling this way. But don't worry, the balance training will help you. Not only it does build strength, but it also reduces the feelings of tightness and prevents the falls, which is very important. Let's get started with some beginner-friendly balance training exercises. Now, first up, we have leg and calf raises. To the side leg rise, you will need a chair or a counter to steady your balance with one hand. Stand up straight with your feet slightly apart. Now slowly lift one leg to the side and hold it for 5 to 10 seconds. Lower your leg back down at the same pace. Repeat this exercise with the other leg. As you progress and improve your balance, challenge yourself by doing this exercise without holding onto the counter. Remember, you need to take it at your own pace and enjoy the benefits of improved balance and training of this strength training through these exercises. Now, next, we're going to perform some calf rises. It's a great exercise to strengthen and tone your calf muscles. And to get started, you need to find a chair or counter to help you maintain your balance. You're going to stand with your feet hip-width apart and lift your heels off the ground rising onto your toes. Hold this position for a moment and then slowly lower yourself back down. Repeat this movement for 10 to 15 reps, feeling the burn in your calves with each repetition. Remember to breathe and focus on engaging your calf muscles without the exercise. Next, we will do some stretching. Now here's some exercises to boost flexibility and reduce the injury risk. Stretching exercises are crucial. It's a crucial component of any fitness routine as they not only increase your flexibility but also warm up your body for other physical activities. By incorporating routine stretching into your workout regimen, you can significantly minimize the chances of sustaining injuries while exercising. So let's explore two common stretching techniques that can help you achieve these benefits. Number one, it's going to be a calf stretch. So you're going to begin by placing one leg behind you, ensuring that your toe is pointing forward. Take a step forward with the opposite foot and slightly bend the knee. Now lean forward with the front leg while keeping the heel of your back leg firmly planted on the floor. Hold this stretch for about 15 seconds. If you're feeling the tension in your calf muscles, then that means you're doing it right. Repeat this sequence three times per leg for optimal results. Next is seated hamstring stretch. You need to find a comfortable spot on the edge of a chair and sit down. Extend one leg in front of you, pointing your toe upward. Bend the opposite knee, placing your foot flat on the floor, and gradually position your chest over your straight leg and straighten your back until you start feeling a gentle stretch in your hamstrings. You need to maintain this position for approximately 15 to 20 seconds, allowing the muscle to relax and loosen. Repeat this sequence three times per leg to ensure the same level of engagement for both sides of your body. By incorporating these stretching exercises into your routine and following these step-by-step instructions, I believe you all can boost your flexibility, warm up effectively, and minimize the risk of injury during your workouts. Remember, flexibility is the king and the key to maintaining a strong and resilient body. Now, always eat good. Take some alpha-lipoic acid, benfotiamine, B vitamins.
