     Complications from Diabetes can affect many systems in the body and can be assisted by participating in a safe fitness program built on a foundation of  senior balance exercises. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now     A recent study that has been published details that individuals with Diabetes have a greater likelihood of experiencing Dementia later in life. The research study looked at more than 2 million people and 100,000 with dementia. The authors discovered that both men and women had a higher chance of dementia if diabetic but that women are more likely to get vascular dementia - caused by reduced blood supply to the brain from damaged blood vessels - than men. As a result, Patients with type 2 diabetes are 60 per cent more likely to develop dementia. Vascular dementia occurs following a stroke or when the blood vessels supplying the brain become furred up or blocked. The study’s author, Rachel Huxley, said diabetics can cut their chances of dementia by giving up smoking and drinking, exercising more and eating healthily. Medical researchers and healthcare professionals like doctors, nurses and physical therapists agree that the first step for safe exercising involves performing specific senior balance exercises to establish a platform of overall stability with all movement patterns.

 Senior Balance Exercises For Diabetics

      Medical providers recommend that individuals with diabetes rehearse certain senior balance exercises before initiating a healthy fitness program. Since Diabetes often results in decreased sensation from the feet (called Diabetic Neuropathy), folks diagnosed with Diabetes usually suffer from imbalance and a higher possibility of falling. Consequently, those with Diabetes are encouraged to practice equilibrium routines like standing with their feet shoulder width a part and centering their body weight in the middle of their feet. From that position, they can focus on keeping their body weight centered and balanced. These steadiness routines and a progression of senior balance exercises can be found in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
