To improve your blood sugar levels and decrease insulin resistance.
As the incidence of blood sugar conditions increases, many of us are turning our attention to insulin resistance.
As a result, the pancreas makes more and more insulin to overcome the decreased sensitivity.

How Can You Improve Insulin Resistance?
Physical activity improves insulin resistance by making the body more sensitive to insulin.
It helps move glucose out of the blood and into the muscles for energy, lowering blood sugar levels.
TheADArecommends an ideal goal of 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity exercise, such as a brisk walk.
If that seems like a daunting goal, dont fret.
Research shows thatwalking after each meal for just two minutescan significantly improve blood sugar levels.
