The walk-after-meals habit for blood sugar
Even 2 to 5 minutes of light walking after a meal can lower the blood sugar spike. In one study, a 10-minute walk after each meal worked better than one 30-minute walk a day. Try it after lunch and dinner.

Eat your carbs last
Start with vegetables, then protein, and eat the carbs last. In a small study, this order led to a noticeably lower blood sugar rise after the meal. Same food, different order.

Strength training works at any age
Muscles respond to training at any age: people in their 90s got much stronger in 8 weeks. Aim for 2 sessions a week: chair squats, wall push-ups, resistance bands.
