[ Wellness Walk ] 산길 / Mountain Path 😊 걷기의 건강효과 / Health Benefits of Walking

Hello everyone,😊😊 In today's Health Journey session, we will be discussing how walking exercise affects blood sugar control. Walking is a very effective exercise for blood sugar control, and as you may already know, its benefits have been proven in various studies. I hope this will be a meaningful time to learn once again and practice consistently. Now, let’s take a look at a few reasons why walking is effective in lowering blood sugar. 1.Improved Insulin Sensitivity Aerobic exercises like walking help improve the body's insulin sensitivity. Insulin is a hormone that transports blood sugar to cells for use or storage. When insulin response is enhanced through exercise, blood sugar levels are more stable. According to research, regular aerobic exercise is effective in improving insulin sensitivity in not only diabetes patients but also healthy individuals. 2.Enhanced Glycogen Storage in Muscles Walking promotes the storage of glycogen, which is the energy source for muscles. During exercise, muscles actively absorb blood sugar and use it for energy, so when blood sugar is high, walking can help lower it. Especially after meals, a light walk can be effective for blood sugar control. 3.Weight Management Regular walking helps with weight management, which is closely related to blood sugar control. Being overweight or obese increases insulin resistance, raising the risk of diabetes. By reducing weight through physical activities like walking, blood sugar levels can be effectively managed. 4.Stress Reduction Walking has a positive impact on mental health as well as physical health. Exercise can reduce the levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which helps with blood sugar control. Reducing stress is a key factor in maintaining stable blood sugar levels. 5.Improved Blood Circulation Walking improves overall blood circulation. When circulation improves, oxygen and nutrients are quickly delivered to cells, and waste products and sugars are effectively removed. This has a positive effect on blood sugar control. It is recommended to aim for about 30 minutes of walking per day, at least five days a week. Start with shorter times and gradually increase the duration as you progress. Walking is a light aerobic exercise, but you should choose an intensity that suits you, with a level where you can still talk comfortably. Walking within 30 minutes after a meal at a moderate intensity is especially effective for lowering blood sugar. Walking is a simple yet sustainable exercise that can be applied to most people. It will greatly help in managing blood sugar and improving overall health. Therefore, it is recommended to incorporate walking into your daily routine. That concludes today's Health Journey session. See you next time, and thank you.👋😊 Video and Photo by Lee's Challenge 100 (Copyrighted) #걷기 #혈당 #산책 #등산 #walking
