Walking after a meal

Why walk after eating?
A short walk after a meal is a simple but powerful way to support your metabolism. Just ten minutes of walking activates the large muscles in your legs and back. These muscles act like a sponge, absorbing sugar directly from your blood.
The result? You have fewer blood sugar spikes and your body produces less insulin . Over time, this regularity makes your body more sensitive to insulin again, giving your metabolism a solid boost.
