💻 Ken jij onze 'From Science to Practice Webinars' al?
🎬 Dr. Simon Helleputte ging tijdens dergelijke webinar in op het belang en de toepassing van fysieke activiteit en sport bij type 1 diabetes en vertelt tijdens dit interview meer over de meerwaarde van dit navormingsformat.

Our recent @IJSNEMJournal paper provides evidence that ingested glucose oxidation correlates with body size

What I love about this app from @enhance_d is my ability to isolate my #TIR just during my #exercise. I can tell in retrospect I need to work on fuelling earlier to prevent the #hypo shown in red. Thanks @SamNathanScott and @FedeYFontana

This is an outstanding #exercise and #T1D with #caffeine study and published in an outstanding journal. Congratulations @HelleputteSimon and team. – at Toronto, Ontario

In deze from Science to Practice webinar gaan we in op het belang van fysieke activiteit & sport in type 1 diabetes. We bespreken hoe deze activiteiten veilig & effectief toe te passen in het dagelijks leven van diabetici rekening houdend met hun gewijzigd inspanningsmetabolisme.

Had de sector oprecht geweest, dan hadden ze voorgesteld om de enige correcte ‘educatieve boodschap’ uit te dragen. «Alcoholgebruik schaadt de gezondheid.» Bovendien: openbare reclame voor een product dat zoveel morbiditeit en mortaliteit veroorzaakt is op zich al onvoorstelbaar.
Als de sector zelf zijn richtlijnen schrijft, kijk 2 keer goed! Het is alcoholGEbruik schaadt de gezondheid!
“Alcoholmisbruik schaadt de gezondheid", alcoholreclame krijgt nieuwe educatieve boodschap

The first podcast I featured in as a guest is now online 📻👌
We're talking estimating muscle fiber type composition and applications in sports performance. What else did you expect?
Thanks @JohnNicolosi & Jack Williams from @MelbAthDev for having me!

Going for a 20 minute walk in nature is an underrated form of therapy.
Walking improves recovery by stimulating blood flow throughout your entire body.
Walking as little as 6000 steps a day has been correlated with decreasing all-cause mortality by 45%.
Walking enhances your cognitive function by boosting BDNF and promoting neuroplasticity.
Harvard psychiatrist John Ratey, MD, author of Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, has called physical activity
“A little bit of Prozac and a little bit of Ritalin” and “Miracle-Gro” for the brain.
You only get old when you stop walking. You don't stop walking because you get old.
Do you want an easy way to improve your health? Go for a walk.
