Post-Meal 'Fart Walks': The Surprising Health Boost You Need

Taking a walk after a big meal, such as Thanksgiving dinner, can aid digestion, regulate blood sugar, and improve sleep quality. Known as 'fart walks' due to their gas-relieving benefits, these post-meal strolls have been practiced for centuries and are gaining popularity again. Walking helps muscles absorb glucose, reducing the need for insulin and easing the pancreas's workload, which can prevent pre-diabetes. Even short walks of 2-5 minutes can be beneficial, especially after dinner, the largest meal of the day.
