This in turn leads to poor blood sugar control. When you grow older, the tendency to <strong>exercise<\/strong> and be physically active also reduces. The practice of walking for 15 minutes after every meal can be a simple way for senior citizens who are not too physically active to control their blood sugar levels.

Here are some of the other benefits of taking a walk after a meal.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Improved digestion<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The body movement involved in walking can help the food to move quickly through your stomach and intestines. That can <strong>improve your digestion<\/strong> and help with conditions like heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or constipation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Aids weight loss<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Walking needs to be complemented with dietary measures if you are looking at it as a weight loss exercise. Walking for 15 minutes after every meal can help you burn calories in your effort to lose weight.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reduced risk of heart disease <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3 walks of 10-15 minutes a day can help keep blood pressure in control. Taking multiple short walks in a day can be more effective than walking in one continuous session.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, walking after a meal can cause indigestion. In such a case, it is better to take a break for 5 to 10 minutes after a meal and walk at a moderate pace.
