Walking workout after eating to lower your blood sugar.
Its time for another fun, uplifting walking workout after eating to lower your blood sugar! Research has shown that using your muscles post meals significantly reduces glucose levels. It’s such a powerful health hack that making a habit of taking an after eating walk can truly change your life. This quick indoor walking routine is easy to do, low impact, and appropriate for all levels and ages. You can use it immediately after eating to lower a glucose spike without getting a stomach cramp. Consistency is the key, so bookmark this video and use it as often as possible. Invite your friends, family, and house pets to join you. Movement is medicine and a little bit goes a long way in helping you stay healthy and live a longer, active life.
Exercise at any time is good for your overall health and well-being. But a growing body of research shows that walking after a meal is especially beneficial for your metabolic health. One reason for this is that walking depends on aerobic metabolism which draws upon glucose in combination with fatty acids and protein in the body. So when you take a walk after eating, you burn through glucose at a moderate rate to help curb a spike without prompting the production of additional glucose. When you eat a meal—particularly one heavy in carbohydrates—it’s normal for your blood sugar levels, or the amount of glucose in your blood, to sometimes spike temporarily. This spike in blood sugar typically triggers the release of a hormone called insulin, which allows the glucose to leave your bloodstream and enter your cells, where it’s used for energy. If the body consistently has very high spikes in blood sugar and is routinely pumping out more insulin, cells can eventually stop responding to insulin and become insulin resistant. This break in the balance can lead to prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. But thanks to new research we now know that taking a quick walk after meals can help lower blood sugar levels, and potentially reduce the chances of developing cardiovascular disease or diabetes. So lace up those sneakers and let’s step our way towards lower glucose levels together.
