Food & lifestyle ideas to keep you healthy
Lower Blood sugar in 10 minutes
Here are two reasons not to linger at the table after dinner:
#1. if you have leftovers sitting on the table, it is very tempting to take second helpings. Even though you aren’t hungry, the aroma and sight of them mayget you to eat more.
#2. This is really important. When you eat a meal, your blood sugar rises. The best thing you can do is get up and move.
