Full transcript

Big carb meal, a sweet drink, dessert? Walk it off — ten to fifteen minutes within half an hour of finishing. Your muscles pull glucose out of the blood without needing extra insulin, so the spike stays smaller. It's the biggest free thing you can do for your metabolism, and it costs one short walk.
