Everyone loves a big meal with family and friends!

But instead of plopping on the couch afterward, why not try taking a short walk? The potential health benefits are substantial. Here are some of the many benefits that walking after a meal could provide:

  • Improved digestion

  • Better blood sugar levels

  • Possible weight loss

  • Reduce risk of heart attack

  • Lower blood pressure

  • Lower cholesterol

The US Dept of Health and Human Services recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week. Walking after a few meals each week (especially the one coming up a week from Thursday) is an easy way to improve your health!
