A short walk after a meal does more than you’d think. It can help smooth out blood sugar spikes (a systematic review published in Sports Medicine found that postprandial walks moderate the body’s glucose response to food), gets your digestive system moving, and tends to support healthier blood pressure.
It also burns a modest amount of calories, roughly 150 in a brisk 30-minute walk, and lifts your mood by increasing endorphins and easing stress hormones. Even a 10 to 20 minute stroll after lunch can make a difference: try building it into your day, especially if you work from home.
