Can walking for just 5 minutes after a meal really lower your blood sugar?
Does vacuuming, doing the dishes, or picking up toys count as exercise?
And is chickpea or lentil pasta actually better for your blood sugar than regular pasta?
Brian is BACK for another Rapid Fire Friday, and we're answering three practical questions that all come down to one bigger idea:
You don't have to do everything perfectly. You need to find the minimum effective dose—and then pay attention to whether it's actually working.
In this episode, we cover:
Are 5-minute walks after meals really enough?
Why five minutes isn't magic—but it may be enough to get your muscles working and help with post-meal blood sugar. And if five turns into 10 or 15? Even better.
Does housework count as movement?
Vacuuming, dishes, yard work, walking around the house—it all beats sitting on the couch. But there's an important difference between moving and assuming that movement is enough to accomplish all of your health goals.
Is lentil or chickpea pasta actually better for blood sugar?
Our favorite answer: compared to what? We talk protein, fiber, satiety, “health halos,” ingredient labels—and why the only way to know how a food affects YOUR blood sugar is to pay attention to what actually happens when you eat it.
Plus, Cory talks youth basketball, Brian returns from newborn life, and somehow we end up discussing our first-ever one-star review.
If you're overwhelmed by everything you're supposedly “supposed” to do for type 2 diabetes, this episode is your reminder:
Start small. Move more. Pay attention to your results. Then build from there.
