Mindsip insights from this episode:
Choose cushioned endurance running shoes for high-volume walking
For high-volume walking, cushioned endurance running shoes are recommended as they are built to avoid compression over long distances.
Walk after meals to flatten blood sugar spikes
Walking after a meal can flatten a blood sugar spike by activating glucose transporters in leg muscles, independent of insulin.
Incorporate walking to enhance fat loss beyond diet alone
In a 12-week study, a walking and diet group lost 1.6kg (3.5 pounds) more fat mass than a diet-only group.
Walk to enhance sleep quality
Walking can lead to deeper, more sound sleep, with one study showing women experienced a more significant improvement in sleep quality than men.
Walk to lose weight without hunger
Walking is an effective low-intensity exercise for weight loss because it burns calories without making you ravenous like high-intensity workouts might.
Replace walking shoes every 300-500 miles to prevent injuries
To avoid knee and foot issues from worn-out cushioning, it's recommended to replace high-use walking shoes every 300-500 miles.
