A small new study suggests that even one exercise session may be able to reverse some of the harm caused by overeating. Researchers studied five women and found that one day of overeating reduced the body's fat-burning oxidation rate - a rate that is linked to insulin sensitivity. But when the same women exercised after overeating they increased their fat-burning oxidation rate. Experts say this shows that exercise decreases insulin resistance and may help prevent diseases such as Type 2 diabetes.
