Did You Know This One Simple Habit Could Be Such A Game Changer On Your Wellness Journey?

I hope this week is going really well for you!  I wanted to share one habit you can begin to do every single night that costs you nothing but provides you so many health benefits. This one habit may be the game changer for you on your wellness journey!

What would that be?  I want to encourage you to go for at least a 30 minute walk after dinner. You can go by yourself if you just need time to breathe and think, invite your family to join you or if your children are older this would be a great time to connect with your spouse. 

What happens when we go for a walk after dinner and what health benefits can we reap? 

1. Improved digestion: Walking after a meal can aid in digestion by helping to stimulate the movement of food through your digestive system.

2. Blood sugar regulation: Walking can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity and helping your muscles absorb glucose.

3. Weight management: Regular walking, especially after meals, can contribute to weight loss or weight maintenance by burning calories and boosting metabolism.

4. Heart health: Walking helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

5. Better mood: Physical activity like walking triggers the release of endorphins, which can improve mood and reduce stress and anxiety.

6. Enhanced sleep: Walking after dinner can promote better sleep quality by helping to regulate your circadian rhythm and relax your body and mind.

7. Increased longevity: Studies have shown that regular physical activity, including walking, is associated with a longer lifespan and a reduced risk of chronic diseases.

Are you going to begin to apply this? I hope so! Tonight is a great time to begin this habit. If you have been already working on this habit are you noticing any benefits?

I hope this helps you get that much closer to feeling your best!  That is what I want for you!
