Exercise causes muscles to use more energy, leading to increased uptake of sugar from the blood, which helps in controlling blood sugar levels. Even light intensity activities like fidgeting or moving the knees after eating can lower the blood sugar response by 30%. This effect is pronounced after meals and can be an effective strategy for managing blood sugar levels.
In this special two-part episode, we’re taking a journey back through all of our episodes to bring you 10 actionable tips that will have a big impact on your nutritional health.
Here, in part two, we’ll find out why you should stop counting sheep and how fidgeting can boost your health. These are evidence-backed tips to help you live and eat healthier.
