Abstract in brief

  • The study found that doing three 15-minute walks after meals can significantly improve blood sugar control over 24 hours in older adults at risk for glucose intolerance, and this method is even more effective than a continuous 45-minute walk.
  • Researchers compared different exercise routines and discovered that postmeal walking lowered blood sugar levels more effectively than sustained walking, especially in reducing post-dinner glucose spikes.
  • Short, frequent walks after meals are a simple and effective way to help manage blood sugar levels in older individuals, potentially aiding in preventing conditions like diabetes.

Ada studi yg bilang kalau berjalan kaki selama 15 menit setelah makan ternyata bagus nurunin kadar gula darah. Jadi, jalan2 ringan setelah makan bisa membantu pencernaan dan mengendalikan gula darah. https://t.co/QHx504RU6G

4. Get outside at lunch After you have finished eating go outside and get some Vitamin D. Walking after eating has also been shown to lower your blood sugar. https://t.co/delXAxo1tM
