Walking After Meals
Alright, friends, it’s the day we’ve all been waiting for! Today, we’re going to talk about how/why walking helps to stabilize blood glucose. You’ve already learned why stable blood glucose is important, and today, we’re going to break down how you can do that by simply taking a walk! 👟
👉“Walking directly affects how your body handles glucose. As you move, your muscles use glucose for energy, which lowers blood sugar.”
👉”Walking activates special glucose transporters in your muscle cells. These help move glucose from your blood into your muscles.”
While the article is geared towards diabetics, it’s also very relevant for you, as well—because walking has the same benefits when it comes to regulating your blood sugar.
Taking a brisk 10-minute walk after a meal can “reduce blood sugar spikes and help with overall glucose control”. I don’t know about you, but taking a 10-minute walk after each meal doesn’t seem to be too difficult, does it? However, the payoff far exceeds the sacrifice, helping you stabilize your blood sugar—which as you already know, has many benefits, including your ability to burn fat! 🔥
