Walking after meals helps with digestion, lowers blood sugar, and prevents fat storage, making it an efficient weight-loss hack.
Several studies, confirm that even 10-15 minutes of light walking after a meal can reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes by up to 22%. This is particularly beneficial for heart health, as prolonged high blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels over time.
The movement after eating also supports gut motility, reducing the sluggishness that comes from large meals. For weight loss, post-meal walks help regulate insulin levels, which in turn supports fat metabolism, though the calorie burn itself remains modest unless the walk is brisk and sustained.
