Al-Marsad Newspaper: Public health advisor and health promotion expert, Dr. Saleh Al-Ansari, revealed how healthy it is to walk after eating in order to reduce sugar levels.
And “Al-Ansari”, through a tweet on his Twitter account, posted a question saying: “Do we walk after eating to lower sugar?” To answer: “No,” pointing out that spreading the idea among the public is a risk, especially for the elderly and patients with chronic diseases.
He explained that after eating, we need blood for digestion, and it reaches the heart less, pointing out that one or two studies do not change the safe recommendations. He added: “Unfortunately, in our society the word “meal” does not mean “meal”, so after eating they postpone walking for 2-4 hours.

After eating, we need blood for digestion, and its access to the heart decreases
