Taking a walk instead of turning on the TV may help African-American women lower their risk of type 2 diabetes, a large study suggests.
Researchers found that among more than 45,000 African-American women they followed for a decade, those who said they walked for exercise at least five hours per week were one-third less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than non-walkers.
Furthermore, women who watched five or more hours of television a day were 86 percent more likely to develop diabetes than those who watched less than one hour per day.
