Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter recommends a 15-minute walk after eating to lower blood sugar spikes and improve insulin sensitivity. Even 10 minutes helps. Walking increases muscle glucose uptake, reduces inflammation, aids digestion, and boosts circulation.

A 15 minute walk after a meal.
Even a 10 minute walk.
So what if the best way to lower your blood sugar didn't come from a pill, but from a walk? Taking a 15 minute walk after a meal has magical health benefits. Hey, I'm Dr. Joshua Schachter, the co founder of Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics and I just finished my lunch, so I'm going for a walk. So walking supports blood sugar control. Walking after a meal helps muscles absorb glucose from the bloodstream and that reduces those post meal blood sugar spikes and improves your insulin sensitivity, both of which will reduce inflammation. It also aids in digestion, gentle movement stimulates your gastrointestinal tract, promoting smoother digestion and it also creates boating and discomfort. Also boosts your metabolism. Even a 10 minute walk increases your circulation, enhances nutrient delivery, and can reduce fatigue or sluggishness. After eating, maybe walk, breathe and let your body do what it was designed to do.
