Climbing down the mountain in the long run help to reduce blood sugar levels, and thereby reducing the risk or impact of diabetes and affects cholesterol levels in the body, Belgian scientists said.

Meanwhile, regular mountain climb reduce triglycerides, an important component constituting general cholesterol. And the second type of exercise to climb the mountain and descend the mountain are reducing cholesterol "bad" - that low-density lipoprotein levels, Dr. Heinz Drexel, chief researcher at the Institute of Voralberg (Belgium), said.

In this study, Drexel and his colleagues persuaded 45 healthy but sedentary climb up and down a mountain slope in 4 months time.

The first two months, half of the climbing and going down by a cable car, while the other half just climbing down the mountain in 3 to 5 days a week. Then the two groups reverse. Just after one day and one day, experts measured the cholesterol levels (including cholesterol and harmful triglycerides) and blood sugar levels of all people.

Each climb down the mountain that have negligible effects, the researchers were surprised to find blood sugar levels in people with significant decreases down the mountain while climbing the mountain no reduction be.

The team found that the two types of activity are reducing the amount of bad cholesterol. Climb the mountain, though not reduce blood sugar more, could significantly reduce the concentration of triglycerides. Therefore, experts believe that the climb down the mountain can bring many benefits for diabetic patients.

But not every place has mountains, especially in urban areas and the plains. For those who want to learn but can not afford to practice in the real mountains, the scientists said that exercise by climbing stairs is also very good.
