But you're right, there can be a lag because that first little shot of glucose can be a stimulant.

But very soon that shot can go very, very large of glucose.

And at least for me, it makes me very, very sleepy.

So I think it's very normal.

Well, you can mitigate that, of course, by doing a walk and try and burn off a little bit of that glucose.

We can get into that.

Yeah, I think brisk walks seem to be better.

There are studies from other people on that.

A brisk walk for 15 minutes or 20 minutes after you eat will help suppress those glucose spikes.

And so –

yeah so they're in fact some of these um companies that have set up around personalized management of glucose uh i'm involved with one called january i and there's others out there too they actually recommend that if you eat something that spikes your glucose you should take a uh a brisk walk and that will suppress your spike and they connect they'll actually teach you that

And you can see it personally.

And so one thing we've done, for example, most people spike to white rice.

Believe it or not, it's high glycemic index.

But glycemic is more personal than people give credit for.

Anyway, you will spike your glucose.

But if you take a brisk 20-minute walk, you can just see that spike is much, much less.

That's what I assumed, yes, that you're burning it off.

No, I haven't seen it.

This is wild.
