“Walking in groups helps people stick with their exercise goals, study finds” – MINNPOST
Coach Beverly believes in the power of the Passegiata (walk in Italian). A common practice in Italy, an after dinner time stroll can have huge health benefits.
It seems that a short walk after meals is better for blood sugar than walks at other times of the day. Research indicates that short 10 – 15 minute post dinner walk is VERY effective at lowering post meal blood glucose, especially after higher carbohydrate meals. Which is great news for people with prediabetes and diabetes.
Why not join a group of walkers? According to an article in the Minnpost, there are many health benefits to walking in a group from physical to mental. Joining a walking group can add motivation and increase social interaction.
“There is good evidence that exercise adherence is enhanced through the use of social support,” write Meads and Exley.
