Forget walking after meals: Anti-ageing influencer Bryan Johnson does this '10-count' exercise for blood sugar control & weight loss

Bryan Johnson, a tech entrepreneur, suggests that performing 10 squats every 45 minutes could be more effective than a 30-minute walk for controlling blood sugar levels. A 2024 study indicates that it is the frequency of movement breaks, rather than squats alone, that plays a crucial role. This approach works by activating large muscle groups, which helps the body absorb glucose more efficiently. Experts agree that regular movement throughout the day is essential for maintaining metabolic health, with greater emphasis on consistency and frequency rather than duration, encouraging people to keep moving.
