00:00Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, Top 5 Benefits of Walking After a Meal.
00:14Taking a short walk after meals is becoming more popular, and it's not just a passing trend.
00:19Walking after you eat can have some real benefits for your health.
00:231. Better Digestion, One of the main benefits of walking after a meal is improved digestion.
00:28Moving around helps your stomach and intestines process food more quickly.
00:31Regular walking has even been linked to a lower risk of certain cancers in the digestive system,
00:36including those affecting the mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and pancreas.
00:412. Blood Sugar Control, Walking after eating can be especially helpful for managing blood
00:46sugar levels, particularly for people with diabetes. A 10-minute walk after each meal
00:50can be more effective at controlling blood sugar than a single 30-minute walk during the day.
00:55Even if you don't have diabetes, walking after meals can help keep your blood sugar in check.
01:003. Heart Health, Walking has long been known to support heart health by lowering blood pressure
01:05and reducing bad cholesterol levels. Regular post-meal walks can reduce your risk of heart
01:09disease, stroke, and heart attacks. By taking three 10-minute walks each day, you can easily
01:15meet the CDC's recommendation of 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least five days a week.
01:204. Weight Loss, Walking after meals can contribute to a calorie deficit,
01:24which is key for weight loss, though more research is needed on its specific effects.
01:285. Blood Pressure Regulation, Regular post-meal walks may help lower blood pressure,
01:33especially in those with hypertension. Some people might experience an upset stomach,
01:37like indigestion or nausea and bloating, from walking too soon after eating.
01:41If that happens, try waiting 10 to 15 minutes before starting your walk and keep the pace easy.
01:46Aim for 10 minutes of walking after each meal to accumulate 30 minutes of daily physical activity
01:51as recommended by CDC and reap the benefits without the risk of discomfort.
01:55Keep the pace brisk but not so intense that you're out of breath.
01:58Starting with lower intensity is a good idea, especially if you're new to regular exercise.
