How to stay healthy by a 10 minute walk after a main meal

What do you do after eating a meal?

What do you do after eating a meal. Flop down in a chair, watch TV? Go back to working at your desk? It is very easy to get into relaxed mode especially after a long day and you probably feel that you have earned a good sit down after a meal. But have you ever thought about going for a walk after eating? If you have ever had a heavier meal, a walk can actually help. Walking is not only good for some general exercise, but for people with health conditions such as diabetes it could be really beneficial.  But thinking it about it, good practices while we are healthy are good too as they can be preventative measures to stop conditions like diabetes developing. Many customers come through my clinic that have Diabetes and this can have a lot of other issues associated with it. Being overweight can make the management of the condition worse, but being overweight massively affects your health and mobility also. Diabetes is a devastating disease and you'll find the 10 minutes to take a walk after a meal is a simple and effective way to help stay healthy.

Take a 10-minute walk after a meal 

You might not believe it, but taking just a short stroll after eating a main meal can make a significant difference to your health. In fact taking a 10 minutes walk after eating can actually lower blood glucose more than a single 30 minute walk each day for people with type 2 diabetes. The best results are usually after an evening meal when there is more likely to be a higher carbohydrate consumption and when you are generally less active. In fact if you eat meals with lots of carbohydrates such as bread, rice, potatoes and pasta then taking a  quick walk afterwards is a good idea. Your body metabolises carbohydrates into sugar much more quickly and this is why a quick walk will help your body to lower your blood glucose levels.
