Walking. Walking a few minutes after each meal helps to create healthy habits, lowers blood sugar and makes you more mindful of the world around you.
I started feeling really yucky and my face would get real flushed and feel like I had the worst sunburn ever. I couldn’t figure out what was causing it until a few weeks in, my hubs had the bright idea for me to check my blood glucose. It was sky high. Probably should have gone to the hospital, according to my friend who’s a nurse.
One great way to bring blood sugar down naturally is to get up off your rear end and get some steps in. I started walking after meals…anywhere from 5-30 minutes, just depending on what is happening during the day. Y’all, in a 20 minute walk, my blood glucose would drop nearly 100 mg/dL! It would go from scary high to just regular high LOL!
Also, I don’t “waste” my walk time. Either my kids come along and we get some distraction-free discussion time in, or I’m alone and I pray. I do my best praying when I’m walking; I think it all boils down to being free from distractions!!
Intentionality is important. Walking has been a small thing that’s made a big impact on my entire being: mind, body, and Spirit!
