Episode notes
Take A Post-Meal Walk
- Walk after at least one of your meals to improve blood sugar regulation and insulin action.
- Short post-meal walks (e.g., 3×15 minutes) can match the benefit of one long 45-minute walk for glucose control.
Calories Aren't The Whole Story
- Different foods affect our bodies differently, so calories alone don't explain obesity and metabolism.
- Physical activity improves insulin resistance beyond mere calorie burning, aiding weight regulation.
Break Up Sitting With Short Walks
- Favor multiple short walks during the day to reduce sedentary time and lower stress.
- Break long sitting periods with brief walks to support both metabolic health and mental refreshment.
