Does a walk after a meal help with digestion?
apparently walking helps in the movement of food into the stomach and improves digestion. Also helps in decreasing blood sugar after meals, which decreases cardiovascular risk and potential signal diabetes by helping muscles absorb glucose in the blood. Here is the link to a study done comparing the results of walking after food and after a drink. Also a study was conducted where when people with Type 2 diabetes took a 20 minute walk just 15 minutes after eating, their post-meal blood sugar levels were lower than if they had walked before dinner or not walked at all. Here is the link to another similar study.
