I always promise myself I'll eat less, but I still overeat today. My body feels heavy, so everything feels like a chore. What I said I'd rest for a bit ends up lasting over two hours. What happens to my body when I sit for long periods after overeating? Even though I feel better, my health continues to deteriorate. Why is this?

 

 

You know why overeating is bad for you ?”… Blood sugar spikes and you gain weight

 

Regardless of the type of food, persistent overeating can lead to excessive calorie intake. The excess calories are stored as fat in the body, leading to weight gain and a higher risk of various diseases, including colon cancer. This process can lead to spikes in blood sugar, jeopardizing diabetes prevention and management and causing belly fat. Eating too much and not exercising can also make it more difficult to secrete insulin, which regulates blood sugar. Repeated habits can worsen diabetes, a condition that requires lifelong management, and lead to obesity.


Time to move your body after eating ?… After eating 30 minute ~1 Between times

 

Blood sugar levels begin to rise 30 minutes to an hour after a meal as food is digested. Therefore, engaging in physical activity during this time is the best way to lower blood sugar levels. This is especially true if you ate carbohydrates like noodles for lunch, which can cause blood sugar spikes. Even at the office, it's helpful to develop personal blood sugar control habits, such as walking down the hallway or climbing stairs.

However, if you already have diabetes, avoid exercising on an empty stomach or before a meal. If you use insulin, consider reducing your insulin dose to prevent exercise-induced hypoglycemia. It's also best to avoid exercising within 60 to 90 minutes of an insulin injection. Using insulin to control blood sugar can interfere with daily life. If you're prediabetic, it's best to exercise diligently after a meal.

 

How to prevent diabetes in the pre-diabetic stage ?

 

According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, weight loss through diet and exercise can prevent the progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes. Therefore, people at high risk for diabetes should consistently lower their blood sugar levels through diet control and physical activity. Late-night snacks are not only high in calories, but also because they are high in calories and you'll be going to bed soon, leaving little time for movement. Eating dinner early is also recommended because you have ample time to burn off the calories.

 

vegetable You should eat a lot of fruit Dietary fiber is key to lowering blood sugar levels

 

Vegetables and fruits are beneficial because they are high in dietary fiber, which helps lower blood sugar levels. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) also recommends consuming at least 15 grams of dietary fiber per 1,000 kcal. Whole grains and seaweed are also rich in fiber, which slows the rise in blood sugar and inhibits cholesterol absorption. A synergistic effect can be achieved by engaging in moderate-intensity exercise (conversational level) for at least 30 minutes a day.

Diabetes has nothing to do with me

The moment you let your guard down, it can fall apart.

 

The longer you sit after a meal, the higher your blood sugar level.

Health continues to deteriorate, leaving you vulnerable to various diseases.
