00:00What if the answer to steady blood sugar wasn't in another pill, but in the pool?

00:04For many older adults, swimming is more than exercise.

00:08It's a peaceful way to balance health and life again.

00:12When you swim, your muscles use glucose for energy.

00:16That means your blood sugar naturally lowers, gently, safely, and steadily.

00:22The water supports your weight, so even if walking hurts your knees or feet, you can still move freely.

00:30Swimming improves insulin sensitivity.

00:33Your body learns to use insulin more efficiently.

00:36Just 30 minutes in the pool can improve blood sugar control for up to 24 hours.

00:42You don't need to swim laps like an athlete.
