Why is stable blood sugar important?

Before we talk about how walking helps stabilize blood sugar, it’s important to understand why stable blood sugar is important in the first place. 💯 Again, this is another topic for another day, but it’s important to understand at least the basics:

👉 Dysregulated blood sugar (glucose) can lead to insulin resistance, which is closely associated with obesity, high cholesterol, and the development of chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

👉 Stable blood glucose increases your health span, which is the period of life spent in good health.

👉 Dysregulated blood glucose drastically affects your hormones, which negatively affect all of your bodily systems.

👉 Dysregulated blood glucose (high peaks and low valleys) makes weight loss more difficult.

There are more reasons as to why regulating your blood glucose is important, such as stable energy, improved mood, and fewer cravings. Obviously, there are several things you can do to stabilize your blood sugar levels, but to keep with our monthly theme, it’s important to know that walking is one of those ways! That’s right—walking after a meal helps to stabilize blood glucose! We’ll chat more about this on Saturday so be sure to show up and learn, friends! 👟

TAKING ACTION:

✅ Have you ever considered how dysregulated blood glucose might be contributing to the struggle of burning fat? As I mentioned, the more I learn about this, the more I’m convinced it’s a big piece of the puzzle.
