A look at health check, how much exercise is enough if you are also fighting diabetes. Ali gorman is live at the big board with new findings. When people are diagnosed with type two diabetes, they are told to get more exercise and for most that means brisk walking, and youll get better results if you pick up the pace, by doing burst of 10 minute high intensity exercise, did better than lower intensity consider sizes such as walking, higher intensity is running or rowing, anything that gets are you heart rate up, where you cant say a few words without pausing. And there is more evidence that meditation can help you deal with pain better, in a test volunteers were exposed to short but painful bursts of heat on their legs and given various methods they were told would reduce pain, they rated their pain the lowest, lower than if they had taken morphine, it seems to train the brain to reduce the feeling of pain. And finally today a new high tech device is giving the traditional stethoscope some competition, heart bud is a portable listening device, so Health Care Pro siders can hear a heartbeat and see it on a screen and record it, in a major test, heart bud was as accurate as traditional stethoscopes in picking up heart murmurs its disposable and less expensive.
