Short walks after meals may help reduce the risk of heart disease, according to a study published in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings. The study found that post-meal walking was associated with a lower risk of developing coronary artery calcium (CAC), a marker for heart disease.<br><br>The study included nearly 2,000 people who underwent coronary CT scans to measure their CAC scores. The participants were divided into three groups according to their level of physical activity: inactive, mildly active, and regularly active. There is some scientific evidence that supports the idea that taking a short walk after meals may help to reduce the risk of heart disease. A study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that post-meal walks improved blood sugar levels and reduced the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The study participants who took a 10-minute walk after eating had lower blood sugar levels than those who didn't take a walk. They also had a 27% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. So, while there is evidence to suggest that taking a post-meal walk may be beneficial for reducing heart risks, more research is needed to confirm this. <br><br>In fact, a brand new study published in the journal "Heart" found that post-meal walking reduces the risk of heart disease and death. The study included over 300,000 participants from 17 countries, and it found that those who took a brisk walk after their evening meal were 25% less likely to die from any cause, and had a 34% lower risk of death from heart disease. Even if you don't have time for a long walk, taking a short 5-10 minute walk after meals is still beneficial. And if you can manage to do some light exercise like stretching or strength training on top of that, even better! Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your health,<br><br><br>A recent study published in the European Heart Journal has found that taking a short walk after meals may help to reduce the risk of heart disease. The study looked at 2, inactive men who were randomly assigned to either take a 30-minute walk after dinner every day, or not to walk after dinner. After 12 weeks, the researchers found that the men who walked after dinner had lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels than the men who did not walk after dinner. They also found that the men who walked after dinner had a smaller waist circumference and BMI than the men who did not walk.<br><br>A short, brisk walk after meals may help reduce heart risks in people with type 2 diabetes, a new study suggests. The study found that post-meal walking lowered blood sugar and insulin levels, as well as reduced the amount of fat built up in the liver. These changes suggest that post-meal walking may help prevent or delay the development of heart problems in people with type 2 diabetes, the researchers said.<br><br><br>Walking is a great way to get some exercise and also help regulate blood sugar and insulin levels after eating. And it doesn't have to be anything strenuous u2013 just a brisk 10-minute walk should do the trick. So why is post-meal walking good for your heart? Well, there are several reasons. First, post-meal walking helps to improve blood sugar control by moving glucose from the bloodstream into your cells. Second, it helps to encourage digestion and reduce the amount of fat that is absorbed from your food. And finally, it helps to increase your metabolic rate, which leads to more calorie burning and improved cardiovascular health.<br><br><br>The theory is that regular physical activity helps to keep the blood vessels healthy by promoting better blood circulation, and this in turn can help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems. Additionally, regular exercise may also help to control weight and blood pressure levels, both of which are important factors when it comes to reducing the risk of heart disease. A study published in 2016 found that post-meal walking was associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease and all-cause mortality. The study participants who took the most walks after meals had a 27% reduced risk of coronary heart disease and a 32% reduced risk of all-cause mortality, compared to those who took the fewest walks.<br>https://www.secondmedic.com/blogs/you-can-help-prevent-stroke-by-making-healthy-lifestyle-choices <br><br><br>
