Diabetes News: Just 2 minutes of walking after eating..

Just 2 minutes of walking after eating can help blood sugar, study says

A new study says that getting up and moving after you eat- even if it's only for two minutes- can help control blood sugar levels. If you can't do that, try standing. It helps, too.



 Increasing evidence highlights that accumulating sitting time in prolonged bouts is detrimental to cardiometabolic health.

 Frequent short interruptions of standing significantly attenuated postprandial glucose compared to prolonged sitting; however, light-intensity walking was found to represent a superior physical activity break. The feasibility and longitudinal implications of breaking sedentary behavior with light-intensity walking should be investigated in a free-living setting.
