One of our favorite “prescriptions” for women…
the post-meal walk!
Walking after you eat does more than just aid digestion. Research shows:
• It can reduce blood sugar spikes by up to 30% more than pre-meal exercise
• Keeps your metabolism humming for 2–3 hours after eating
• Just 2 weeks of this habit can improve insulin sensitivity by 20%
• Even 2–5 minutes of movement makes a measurable difference
In women, especially those managing weight, PCOS, or insulin resistance, this is a powerful yet approachable tool. No gym shoes required—just a short stroll after meals.
At Women’s Health of Parkersburg, we focus on small daily habits that support long-term health. This is one of the simplest and most impactful you can start today.
We would love to walk with you on your journey!
