The pursuit of longevity often brings to mind ideas like antioxidants, diet, exercise, or the latest miracle supplement.

Control blood sugar level naturally by going up and down stairs for 60 seconds after meals, says study
The modern-day hectic lifestyle doesn’t leave much room even for a 20-minute walk after meal, and for many, it's the biggest excuse for skipping healthy habits. What if there was a simpler, quicker route to weight loss and total fitness? A new trend, especially when it comes to managing diabetes, is swapping long post-meal walk with a quick 60-second stair climb immediately after meals. Despite the fast moving modern living, your body may still respond to the quick bursts of movement, and for many that can make all the difference. According to a study in the National Institutes of Health (NIH), climbing up and down stairs for just one minute right after a mixed meal was enough to reduce post-meal blood glucose by an average of 14 mg/dL. Extend that stair-climb to around 3 minutes, and the benefits rose, as much as an 18 mg/dL drop in some cases.

In total, that is 180 minutes of being suspended in the air. The habit sounds almost too small to matter. Yet this simple daily practice ended up being one of the most surprising and impactful things I have ever done for my body.
