Why is going for a walk after eating good for you? I have always walked first, eaten second. T HD st way I don’t get a stitch in my side.

Any exercise after a meal causes your blood sugar spike to be less severe. I just learned that last week. Apparently, eating food with vinegar before having carbs also lowers the intensity of the sugar response. I tend to turn into a potato after dinner and started a 30-day challenge to exercise after dinner -- usually a walk, but sometimes a Popsugar video or dancing to music. Anything other than sitting down.

+1 This person is correct. If you have sugar spike issue after meal (dinner for me), then walk even 10-15 min soon after dinner. I do good 3 mph speed and it really makes a difference.

So happy to see all this sane, accurate advice! Now if only people would know that this is necessary for insulin resistance too—which starts years earlier and is rarely on doctors’ radar. Generally you have IR if you suffer from skin tags, dark patches, extra abdominal weight and fatigue.

A few more tips:

Have a good circadian rhythm. Even one night of sleep deprivation messes with blood sugar.

Focus exercise on strength / weights or body weight—especially large leg muscles. They have extra insulin regulators.

Iced tea. You can do herbal teas and ice them, coffee, soda water, or zevia (stivia sweetened soda)

More small bites than one big meal. Above two are correct also

Higher protein, no processed carbs and no sugar. Simple as that. Also wear a CGM.
