Sitting immediately after eating, lying on the couch or bed increases the risk of obesity, because it directly affects the digestive system. Therefore, after every meal, you should walk for 2 minutes. It is already believed that after eating one should walk for at least 15 minutes.
A recent meta-analysis published in the Journal of Sports Medicine found seven studies showing that walking for just two minutes after a meal could reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. At the same time, the blood sugar level in the body also decreases.
Higher sugar level of those who sleep after eating
The research compared insulin-blood sugar levels with the effects of sitting or falling asleep and walking for a while after a meal. The sugar level of those who sleep immediately after eating suddenly increased, which gradually decreased. According to research, walking for 15 minutes can be beneficial in diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity.
Walk around the office after lunch
It is necessary to take a short walk within 60 to 90 minutes of having a meal. Dr Kershaw Patel, a heart specialist at Houston Methodist Hospital involved in the study, believes that every little thing has benefits, even if it is a small step. He said that blood sugar can be reduced even by standing when there is no time, but it does not have that much effect. Even in the office, a walk in the block after lunch or walking around while doing a Zoom meeting can also be beneficial.
