Your muscles clear glucose in two different ways after a meal.
Most people only use one.

When you sit after eating, glucose disposal depends almost entirely on insulin signaling from the pancreas. That pathway works, but it has limited capacity, which is why post-meal glucose spikes are higher and longer.

When you move after eating, even lightly, a second pathway turns on in parallel.

Muscle contraction independently activates glucose transporters (GLUT4), allowing glucose to enter muscle without waiting for insulin. The result is faster clearance, lower peaks, and less strain on the pancreas.

What’s happening under the hood:
• Muscle contraction triggers GLUT4 translocation
• Glucose enters muscle directly
• Blood glucose falls more quickly
• Insulin demand is reduced, not replaced

This isn’t about burning calories or “earning” food. It’s about using the physiology you already have. Walking after meals doesn’t override insulin. It adds another clearance pathway.

That’s why timing matters.

There will be increased patrols in the Bangor University area following an incident earlier today.

Shortly before 2.30pm today, officers responded to a report of a man behaving suspiciously at Pontio.

Enquiries are ongoing to identify and locate the man to establish what happened, however, there is not believed to be any risk to the wider community.

Chief Inspector John Aspinall said: “High visibility patrols will be carried out in the area for reassurance purposes as investigations are ongoing to identify the individual.

“Anyone with further information or concerns should contact officers via our website or by calling 101.”

Rehabilitation and Education

I have been a Muscle and Joint pain specialist for the past 25 years. Ten of those years as a registered Osteopath. I have lectured at FE and HE in Sports Science and as a Sports Massage tutor at the London School of Sports Massage under Mel Cash. I treat all muscle and joint pain and specialise in sports injuries and rehabilitation. I believe that our chosen lifestyles have a direct effect on our health and well being. I advocate Yoga and meditation and truly believe that if we can decrease our stress and increase our happiness on a daily basis that this will benefit both ourselves and our society. For more information please visit my LinkedIn profile, website at www.zaclaraman.com ,this page or my Instagram @zacosteo16. I also have two other pages; Give it a go Plant Based Food and One Planet relating to vegan food and global conservation respectively.
