*Why walking after meals is a ‘small investment with lifelong benefits,’ especially for diabetics.*
( Two Minute Health Read)
September 3rd 2025

Walking after meals ( Breakfast, lunch and dinner) is believed to be a simple but powerful tool for people with diabetes.

Even a (very) light walk helps muscles absorb glucose from the bloodstream, which reduces sugar spikes after eating.

“A short stroll of 10 to 15 minutes after lunch or dinner can greatly improve sugar control. It’s like giving your insulin a natural boost,” agreed Dr Vijay Negalur, HOD, diabetology, KIMS Hospitals, Thane.

*How long and fast should one walk?*

The key is to be consistent, *not fast*, stressed Dr Negalur. “A 10 to 15-minute walk at a comfortable pace right after eating works best. It doesn’t have to be a fast power walk; even slow, steady movement makes a difference. For those who already walk in the morning, adding short walks after meals provides extra help in managing glucose,” said Dr Negalur.

Dr Manjusha Agarwal, senior consultant, internal medicine, Gleneagles Hospital Parel, Mumbai, said that a gentle pace is enough; there’s no need for heavy exercise immediately after eating. “Over time, this routine can reduce overall blood sugar fluctuations, improve energy, and support weight management.

For best results, consistency matters more than intensity, so make sure to walk daily,” said Dr Agarwal.

*Does it benefit only diabetics or can others also try this?*

Everyone benefits including non-diabetics.

“For people with prediabetes, walking after meals may delay or prevent the onset of diabetes.

Even healthy individuals will feel more energetic and less sluggish after meals,” said Dr Negalur.

*Are there any simple hacks for those who cannot step out after meals?*

Dr Negalur further mentioned that one should think of walking after meals as a small investment with lifelong benefits.

“It is free, easy, and sustainable. If there is one change I recommend to my patients with diabetes, it’s this. *Don’t sit after you eat, walk it off,” said Dr Negalur.*

_People with diabetes should ideally consult their doctor before starting a new routine to ensure the activity suits their individual health needs. If you are elderly or prone to low blood sugar, check your levels and walk after main meals instead of on an empty stomach_

Rest is essential for maintaining physical health, mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being. It’s not just about sleep rest also includes taking breaks, relaxing your mind, and allowing your body to recover from stress or exertion.
Rest is not a luxury it’s a necessity. Building regular rest into your day isn’t a sign of laziness but a key part of living a healthy, balanced, and productive life.snehalthakkar♥️🙏

Dynamic stretches are active movements that take your muscles and joints through a full range of motion, preparing your body for physical activity. Unlike static stretching (where you hold a stretch in place), dynamic stretching involves continuous movement to warm up muscles, increase heart rate, and improve mobility.

✅ Key Features of Dynamic Stretching:
• Involves movement (not holding still)
• Warms up muscles and increases blood flow
• Improves flexibility, balance, and coordination
• Often used before workouts or sports
