Well, it's because people stop running when they're 13 and they decide to pick it back up when they're 30 something. And it's a skill. And if you don't do it right, your biomechanics are off and injury risk is quite high. Walking still, luckily, we don't live in WALL-E world, like the animated film where everybody was on those hovering chairs. People can still walk with good technique.

So walking is a great way to move. Now, I don't want to look at this, and I encourage people not to look at forms of exercise as ways to burn calories. That's oversold quite often. The body adapts quite easily and quite quickly to calorie burn from activity. You want to look at it as a form of activity to improve your health, but more importantly, as a way to improve your insulin sensitivity.

So where am I going with this? Walking post-meal, so after you eat a meal, if you walk for 10 minutes, it has profound effects on insulin sensitivity. To put it differently, if you walked for 10 minutes after breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which would be a combined total of 30 minutes a day,

you would get better insulin sensitizing effects from doing that than you would from walking an hour at any of the time during the day. Okay, so right after you eat, go for a 10 minute walk. This has huge impacts on insulin sensitivity. Now, why is that important? Well, if you remain sensitive to insulin, You have better metabolic health and your body's more primed to do things like build muscle.

A lot of people don't realize that insulin is actually one of the most anabolic or muscle building hormones. It also balances out. There's this cascading effect on other hormones. For example, in women, insulin sensitivity is very important for balancing out things like estrogen and progesterone. And again, it's easy. Most of us don't need to put on workout clothes to go for a walk.

We could just do it outside. And if you tie it to something that you do every day, which is eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, You're likely to be consistent. Now, a lot of people may wonder, why does walking after you eat have such big impacts on insulin sensitivity? Well, if you think of your muscles like sponges, this is a real terrible analogy, but imagine they're like sponges.

And you eat a meal and those carbohydrates and those sugars or even some of these unused proteins go into the bloodstream as glucose. Contracting and relaxing muscles helps suck them up. Muscles are a storage vessel for carbohydrates in the form of glycogen. Now, your liver stores glycogen, but so do your muscles.

And moving them postprandial, right after eating, gets them to become sensitive to insulin so they can suck up this glucose. In fact, I had Dr. Seeds on the podcast not that long ago. He's one of the leading researchers on peptide therapies and the like. And he made a statement to me.
