Walk or Move After Carb-Heavy Meals

After eating, do simple bodyweight activity such as air squats, pushups, or a short walk instead of staying seated. The goal is to get muscles contracting soon after the meal so they pull glucose out of the bloodstream more efficiently, which can blunt the post-meal blood sugar spike and reduce insulin demand.

1 / 2

If you're active, then you will clear glucose into muscle. Therefore, your blood glucose won't rise as much... and your pancreas will put out less insulin.
