Importance of Muscles in Glucose Disposal
Having big, strong muscles that are actively used plays a central role in glucose disposal after eating. Muscles that are regularly used and fueled properly can efficiently take up glucose from the bloodstream. This helps in maintaining metabolic health and reducing the need for a significant insulin response. Building robust muscles through resistance training and proper nutrition enhances the body's ability to manage energy levels effectively.
