Even just 2 minutes after dinner can help with blood sugar healthDr. Hye-Gal Hong

Light exercise after dinner lowers blood sugar

What is the most important time in the 24-hour day for your health? I think it's 2 minutes after dinner. Why is that? A few days ago, the New York Times reported a very significant news story in the United States. Even just two minutes of light exercise after dinner can help your blood sugar drop smoothly. It's a synthesis of seven recently published papers. Amazingly, it turns out that it only takes two minutes to make a difference. The worst thing is when your blood sugar rises sharply after eating and then drops drastically. It's because it puts a strain on the pancreas. However, after just two minutes of exercise, it was observed that blood sugar rose and fell smoothly.

The time when we need to pay the most attention to our blood sugar is in the evening. Because I don't eat a lot of breakfast, and when I go to work, I drive back and forth, which consumes energy. The same goes for lunch. I go back and forth between work, home, or school, and I use some energy. That said, I usually eat a lot of high-calorie foods in the evening.

After that, I sit on the couch and watch TV, or if it's a dinner party, I spend time drinking and not moving. It puts a strain on the pancreas and causes blood sugar to skyrocket. So it causes diabetes and other adult diseases. So the most important time of the day is two minutes after dinner. It only takes 2 minutes.

I would like to share with you one of Vincent van Gogh's many quotes. 'Great things are made up of small things' is really relatable. It's not about going to the gym and exercising for a few hours, it's about getting your body moving for at least two minutes after dinner, when your blood sugar is at its most rapid in the day, and that's going to be a big help for your health.
