Five minutes of walking reduces the risk of diabetes, but when?
Immediately after eating, it would be a good idea to do a few minutes of physical exercise, even at a low intensity, to prevent the risk of developing diabetes.
We sometimes get the impression that the digestive process requires us to rest. But this is actually a bad idea. "Gastrointestinal walking" isn't just a myth, and a study published in Sports Medicine reminds us of that.
Stretching your legs, even for a few minutes after finishing a meal, can help prevent type 2 diabetes.
Scientific research confirms the necessity of walking
The published research was conducted by Irish researchers who studied the results of seven previous surveys that looked at post-meal blood sugar levels, and the effect of physical activity on them.
This relates to type 2 diabetes, which is precisely characterized by chronic hyperglycemia (high blood sugar concentration). This poor regulation of blood sugar is linked to resistance to insulin, a hormone used to lower blood sugar levels, produced by pancreatic cells.
Walk for 2 to 5 minutes after a meal
The researchers reported an important experiment. For an entire day, species in Guinea were asked to eat and then remain stationary for some, to stretch their legs to others, by walking without much effort and at a moderate intensity. Then they assessed their blood sugar.
RESULTS: Blood sugar levels were significantly lower in people who walked (between 2 and 5 minutes) after eating, than in people who stayed still. Researchers believe this forms an interesting habit (among other things) for fighting the risk of developing type 2 diabetes someday.
