Timing Exercise Snacks and Mitochondrial Biogenesis

Exercising 30 minutes to an hour before or after a meal can significantly reduce postprandial glucose response and enhance blood glucose levels, beneficial for metabolic health and general well-being.

Additionally, high-intensity interval training for as short as one to two minutes can trigger mitochondrial biogenesis, increasing the number of mitochondria in muscle tissue. This adaptation improves the muscle's ability to utilize mitochondria for energy production during intense workouts.
