The video by the Smart Psychology channel thoroughly analyzes the physiological mechanisms behind the habit of taking a short walk after meals. It explains that light movement (for 2 to 5 minutes) within 10 to 20 minutes immediately after a meal helps muscles activate GLUT4 receptors to directly absorb blood sugar without needing much insulin. Additionally, the video points out that this habit accelerates digestion, prevents acid reflux, protects blood vessels from stress, and helps maintain energy levels, avoiding the "food coma" (post-meal drowsiness).
