10-minute walk after meals may reduce blood sugar

Researchers indicate that walking for 10 minutes after a meal can effectively reduce spikes in blood sugar levels, especially following carbohydrate-rich meals. This light activity helps muscles utilize glucose in the blood, contributing to better blood sugar regulation. The ideal timing is about 30 minutes after eating, and a short walk serves as a practical alternative to improve blood sugar control—particularly for those who find it difficult to allocate long periods for exercise. However, walking does not replace medical treatment for diabetes, but it is a beneficial addition to a healthy lifestyle aimed at improving post-meal blood sugar levels.
