Forget Walking — Do THIS After Every Meal To Cut Blood Sugar Spikes In HALF!

So to start, I wanna give you the movement that pulls sugar out of your bloodstream without taking a single step, and it's called an isometric hold.

That means you get into a position and hold it there instead of repeating a movement over and over.

The most common one is a wall sit, sitting against the wall like you're in a chair, just using the wall to hold you up.

When researchers put that up against simply sitting in a real chair, like the couch after a meal, especially a high carbohydrate one, the wall sit brought blood sugar down by seventeen percent.

And the reason this works comes down to where the sugar from your meal ends up.

It goes into the blood first, and from there it's supposed to move into your muscles where your body burns it off.

However, the only way in is if insulin unlocks the muscles and lets it through.

And after fifty, that unlocking stops working the way that it should, so a lot of that sugar never makes it into the muscles.

It stays stuck in your blood and then your body ends up storing it as fat instead.

But you can unlock that muscle yourself just by putting it to work, and an isometric hold keeps it working the whole time you're in that position, pulling sugar from your blood.

In fact, if you do it in the first thirty to sixty minutes after a meal, researchers found that holds could pull sugar out faster than moving exercise did.

The easiest one to start with is the wall sit.

Put your back flat against the wall and then walk your feet down in front of you.

Slide down until your knees are bent to about ninety degrees.

Keep your back pressed flat, your weight on your heels and your knees stacked over your ankles so they're not caving inward.

Now, it'll make you shake a little bit and you will be challenged, and if you need something to hold onto, put a chair or something sturdy in front of you.

But hold it for twenty to thirty seconds and then stand up and shake it out.

Most people turn it into a contest, a family contest, try to hold it as long as they can.

Maybe compete against yourself.

Three or four short rounds spread across the hour after you eat will do far more for your blood sugar than one long hold ever will.

So rest a minute in between each one and then go again.

One rule that you can't break here, and this matters most if you already are dealing with high blood pressure, never hold your breath.

Breathe steady the whole way through because holding your breath drives your blood pressure up sharply without adding a single benefit.

But in fact, if you can breathe during this exercise, this is actually a way to improve your blood pressure at the same time.

And now if your knees aren't up for a wall sit, you've got two other ways to get the same effect.
