Quick Hack for Improving Your Blood Sugars

Functional Medicine Doctor, Dr. Mark Hyman shared this quick tip for improving your blood sugars: Sitting for hours at a time doesn’t just affect your energy—it can seriously disrupt blood sugar control.

A recent study reveals that interrupting prolonged sitting with short bursts of movement can significantly improve glycemic control.

In the study, participants who performed three minutes of walking or 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes had better blood sugar regulation compared to those who stayed seated or even those who took a single 30-minute walk.
These frequent, targeted bursts of activity were shown to activate key muscle groups like the quadriceps and glutes, leading to better glucose management throughout the day.

Working out at the gym is great, but if you are pressed for time, remember….. get up and move!
