Why It Works
• Experts are recommending 10 minutes of seated calf raises after meals to boost circulation and stabilize blood sugar
• This simple movement activates the soleus muscle, often called the second heart, helping pump blood back toward the heart
• It’s especially effective for people with sedentary lifestyles or those prone to post-meal sluggishness
Health Benefits
• Supports glucose regulation without intense exercise
• Reduces risk of blood clots and swelling from prolonged sitting
• Helps fight food comas and keeps the mind alert after eating
