It is well established that exercise has health benefits in humans. Regular physical activity can significantly reduce the occurrence of age-associated diseases and help maintain function. Exercise is also a powerful anti-aging tool which can extend both healthspan and lifespan. But what about dogs? Is it time to start a chain of canine fitness centers?
Just as in humans, one of the biggest risk factors for illness and premature death in dogs is obesity. Surveys of dog owners have found that low levels of exercise are associated with an increased risk of obesity, so it is possible that regular physical activity may be protective against becoming overweight.
A few studies have investigated exercise as an adjunct to caloric restriction for weight loss in dogs. Some have found benefits, but not all, and it is clear that exercise without caloric restriction is unlikely to be an effective treatment for obesity. However, overweight dogs may still benefit from exercise during dieting in other ways, such as preserving lean body mass.
Exercise also improves comfort and function in dogs with osteoarthritis, and it appears to trigger the activation of metabolic pathways associated with glucose regulation. These same pathways are implicated in the effects of caloric restriction on health and longevity, which suggests that exercise could extend healthspan and lifespan in dogs by mechanisms similar to those demonstrated in other species.
More research is needed, but there it is highly likely that increased physical exercise will be beneficial for dogs in maintaining health and slowing aging. There’s also plenty of evidence that exercising with our dogs is good for our health. So take your for a walk right now!
I’ve only just sat down after getting all the grass seeds out of his coat after his last walk!

It makes sense. It fascinates me sometimes that these types of things were not investigated sooner as it makes sense that exercising would lead to better health and lifespan. You would think it would be common sense. Just like how having a “better” diet than the western diet would lead to less risk comorbidities and other factors of risk.

found this study osu glp1 article today treating cats resulting in wt loss. go bucks.
what we need is a cost effective treatment that will increase glp1 levels or turn on the glp1 receptor site. You cannot get a cat to exercise his wt off unless you let him outside and that has a higher mortality rate then obesity. My physician is obese and my own pets often are fat. If you looked at the average pet medical record saying the pet is overweight i bet most entries the next year would show the pet had gained weight not lost wt as advised by their dvm. Someone should do a study to see if dogs and cats loose wt by just treating the owner with glp1 drugs. How often do you see a obese client bring in a obese cat or dog and wonder how the client managed to get the pet that fat.?

got this off microsoft chat . may be some time before increase in gpt1 levels are cost effective so maybe some of these suggestion from microsoft chat might help. i think hills rd food has peanut shells in it for fiber.

There are some natural ways to increase GLP-1 levels. Eating plenty of protein such as whey protein and yogurt have been shown to increase GLP-1 levels1. Taking probiotics may also increase GLP-1 levels1. Certain herbal-based constituents such as berberine, tea, curcumin, cinnamon, wheat, soybean, resveratrol, and gardenia can exert an influence on GLP-1 expression and secretion2.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questi

Yes, fermentable dietary fiber increases GLP-1 secretion and improves glucose homeostasis1. Ileal proglucagon gene expression in rats increases with the amount of fiber ingested1. Plasma concentrations of proglucagon-derived peptides increased with the ingestion of fermentable fibers and decreased with the removal of fermentable fiber from the diet1.

one more from microsoft and then i am done . td2 in the study means type two diabetic.
Prior research has revealed that exercise increases GLP-1 levels in healthy and obese individuals; however, the efficacy of exercise on GLP-1 levels in patients with T2D remains unclear. Exercise may improve GLP-1 resistance rather than GLP-1 secretion in patients with T2D.
