Keeping Triglycerides Low with Light Exercise after Meals

In a small sample of healthy participants who were not currently participating in an exercise program, a low-intensity exercise combination of walking and light resistance exercises suppressed the elevation of post-meal triglyceride concentration after eating a high-fat meal. This effect was noted in VLDL, LDL, and HDL fractions. Findings indicate that low intensity workouts performed after meals, and to a lesser extent, workouts before meals, can help suppress elevation of triglycerides. journal of the American College of Sports Medicine, Jan 2013
