Did you know that after only three days of taking less than 5000 steps a day your blood sugar will start to spike after you eat? And that these spikes put you at increased risk for heart disease and diabetes? A new study shows that just increasing the amount of daily exercise will help level out those spikes, even if you don't change what you eat. So dig out that pedometer and start walking! And don't stop at 5000 steps! Can you make it to 10'000 steps a day?
