Diabetes

Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism—the way the body uses digested food for growth and energy. Most of the food people eat is broken down into glucose, the form of sugar in the blood. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body.

Low Sugar Foods for Diabetes

It is important for a diabetic to control their blood sugar levels, and one of the easiest ways of doing this is through dietary changes.

Short walks after meals deliver big benefits for blood glucose

A randomized crossover trial in healthy young adults found that a 10-minute walk immediately after glucose intake significantly blunted post-meal blood glucose spikes. Both short and longer walks improved overall glycemic control, but only the immediate walk reduced peak glucose levels.
