It is well-known that walking can bring a lot of benefits. 1． They have also found that going for a 15-minute walk after a meal can help lower blood sugar levels. Even just a few minutes of walking can be helpful.

A report was recently published in a magazine. 2． Researchers compared the influences of sitting with standing and walking on blood sugar. They found that just a few minutes of light walking after a meal was enough to improve blood sugar levels compared with sitting at the desk or lying on the sofa. When participants (参与者) went for a short walk, their blood sugar levels would fall gradually.

Standing also helps lower blood sugar levels. 3． That’s because light walking requires more active use of parts of the body than standing.

Although light walking at any time is good for our health, a short walk within 60 to 90 minutes after eating a meal can be especially useful in making blood sugar levels lower. 4． For people working at home, a short walk after lunch is suggested.

5． It’s a gradual effect (效果). Each step appears to have a benefit.
