Metabolism Affects More than Weight

“Metabolism” is not just about weight.

It’s the sum of all the chemical reactions in your body!

This means your metabolism also affects:

• Blood sugar (whether you spike and crash or stay steady)
• Energy (whether you hit a wall at 3pm or feel good all day)
• Brain function (the brain uses 20% of the body’s energy)
• Hormone balance, inflammation, and even sleep

So even if weight loss isn’t your goal, supporting a healthy metabolism is still essential for how you feel every day

Walking After Meals Supports Metabolism

Walking after meals helps to support digestion, improve insulin sensitivity, and keep your metabolism healthy.

Studies show that moving your body after eating may be even more effective for metabolism than exercising before a meal, likely because your muscles are using the glucose already in your bloodstream for energy.

Even a 10-minute walk around the block counts.
