According to research published in the journal Nature, a 15-minute walk after a meal can reduce blood sugar by 20-30%. This is because muscles absorb glucose from the bloodstream more quickly. Research found that three 15-minute bouts of moderate walking reduced postprandial glucose by 22 percent.

New Delhi: Blood sugar is also known as blood glucose, blood sugar, etc. It is the body's main source of energy, formed from carbohydrates consumed in food.
Blood sugar rises after a meal, but insulin released from the pancreas controls it and sends it to the cells. If insulin is low or not produced, sugar accumulates in the blood, leading to problems like diabetes.
Therefore, everyone wants to keep their sugar levels under control. Recently, Delhi-based diabetologist Dr. Brijmohan Arora conducted an experiment on himself, which lowered his blood sugar. If you wish, you can adopt this method.
Dr Brijmohan shared a video on Instagram in which he said, "I usually walk for 10-15 minutes in the afternoon, and today I want to show you what effect it has. My blood sugar is currently 107, so now I will walk for exactly 20 minutes."
"It's very difficult for me to go to the gym. Although I do, it's not easy. I use the treadmill at the gym, but I don't like that much. But I love walking in the market. Even if I don't buy anything, I love looking at the shops."
"You know, I love the hustle and bustle of an Indian market. And of course, as you can see, I find some excuse to go out into the sun. Feeling the sun's rays on my face is absolutely magical. I guess I turn on like a solar cell."
"Friends, it's only been fifteen minutes, not the full twenty, but I think I should check. So, as you can see, I don't know if you can see it, my blood sugar is 96. That's amazing, it's dropped so much in just 15 minutes."
"This means that if you're walking for 15 minutes after every mile or 20 minutes, it will definitely have some effect. If you have uncontrolled diabetes, such as if your HbA1c is above 7, walking alone won't help."
