Evidence Summary
Systematic review/meta-analysis of randomized crossover trials shows post-meal exercise (often walking) reduces postprandial glucose excursions more than pre-meal exercise and more than inactivity.
Evidence Type: Systematic review + Meta-analysis + RCTs
Health Benefits
Strong systematic review/meta-analysis support for reducing postprandial glucose excursions.
Cosmetic Benefits
Not a cosmetic exercise. May help with weight management through metabolic effects.
How It Works
Post-meal muscle contraction increases glucose uptake and blunts peak excursions; timing matters due to absorption kinetics and insulin response.
Contraindications & Safety
Trials are acute and many have high risk of bias; still consistent directionally. In insulin/secretagogue users, counsel hypoglycemia precautions.
