It is very important what exactly a person ate, explained health coach Katya Strelnikova. If it’s fast carbohydrates (bunch or bun), then a sharp release of glucose into the blood is provided. The person’s insulin levels rise. Such jumps cause a feeling of tiredness and lack of energy. Plus, you’ll soon want to eat again.
A short walk after a meal helps reduce the glucose spike and reduce fatigue. After eating, you need to walk about ten minutes. It is worth going for a walk right away, or at least in the first hour and a half after eating. The longer you walk, the more glucose in your blood will be used.
