Vigorous physical activity also has potent reversal effects by causing your body to produce hormones glucagon, cortisol, and others that cause your liver, muscle, and fat cells to release energy. These hormones temporarily block the action of insulin while you exercise, and then they increase the sensitivity of these cells to insulin for up to sixteen hours following each bout of exercise. — Daniel Lieberman
