Abstract in brief

  • The article explores the idea that exercising after a meal (postprandial exercise) can help control blood sugar levels, but its effectiveness depends on how much and how long your blood sugar spikes after eating.
  • It suggests that the impact of postmeal exercise on reducing blood sugar may be related to the size of the blood sugar increase (peak) and how long it stays high.
  • This means that the better the exercise matches the amount of blood sugar rise, the more effective it may be in hitting blood sugar targets after eating.]

Just 2 minutes of walking after eating can help regulate blood glucose levels. Eat slow and eat to 80% fullness then go take a walk with the family!
