Lower Blood Sugar Levels FAST FAST FAST! with the Soleus Push-Up

A Public Service-Oriented Guide by Sorelle Skin Care and Spa

Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels is crucial for overall well-being. While regular exercise is known to help manage blood glucose, not everyone has the time or energy for intense workouts. But what if I told you that you could lower your blood sugar while sitting down? Enter the “soleus push-up.”

What Is the Soleus Push-Up?

The soleus push-up is a unique exercise that targets the soleus muscle—a deep calf muscle responsible for maintaining balance and stability. Unlike traditional push-ups, this one doesn’t require you to leave your seat. Dr. Marc Hamilton, a muscle physiology expert, discovered that activating the soleus muscle can lead to elevated metabolism for hours.

How to Perform the Soleus Push-Up

1. Find a Sturdy Chair:

• Sit comfortably on a chair with your feet flat on the ground.

• Make sure the chair is stable and won’t tip over.

1. Activate the Soleus Muscle:

• Imagine you’re tiptoeing while sitting.

• Push your toes against the ground, engaging the soleus muscle.

• Hold this position for as long as you can.

1. Repeat and Rest:

• Perform the soleus push-up several times throughout the day.

• Aim for at least 5–10 minutes of cumulative activation.

Why Does It Work?

The soleus muscle is rich in mitochondria—the cellular powerhouses. By regularly engaging in its movement, you activate it, leading to increased glucose uptake from the bloodstream. This process helps lower blood sugar levels naturally1.

Research Findings

Dr. Hamilton’s experiments revealed impressive results:

• People can decrease their blood glucose by about 52% with a single session of soleus muscle contractions2.

• The exercise also reduces the amount of insulin released by the pancreas by 60%.

• Muscle biopsies showed minimal glycogen use, emphasizing the unique fuel mixture utilized during soleus push-ups3.

Benefits of the Soleus Push-Up

1. Convenience:

• You can perform this exercise anywhere—whether at work, home, or during travel.

• No need for gym equipment or special attire.

1. Metabolic Boost:

• The soleus push-up activates oxidative metabolism, burning blood sugar and fat.

• It sustains muscle contraction for hours without fatigue.

1. Reduced Blood Glucose Spikes:

• Incorporating soleus push-ups after meals can significantly lower postprandial glucose levels.

Conclusion

Next time you’re sitting down, remember that you have the power to improve your metabolic health. Try the soleus push-up—it’s a small effort with big rewards.

Sorelle Skin Care and Spa encourages you to prioritize your well-being by incorporating this simple exercise into your daily routine.

Remember: A healthier you begins with small steps, even while seated!
