Already day 9??

Tip # 9: Take ten minutes to walk or ride a bike after a meal.
I know that it's National Nutrition Month, however being moderately active after a meal helps digest your food. It helps to prevent blood glucose levels from getting too high. Instead of that tired feeling we sometimes get after eating, going for a walk will give you an energy boost.

Physical activity pairs perfectly with nutrition. You need both; an active lifestyle and a healthy diet. If you're interested in swimming as your physical activity, check out our SWIM for Diabetes page. It's a fun way to exercise and help out a great cause! Another cool perk is that Jerry and Coleen (from the Biggest Loser) are going to be at some of the events around SWIM time! Click on the link for more information!
