Link to short video of soleus (calf muscle) exercise to lower sugar [View all]

This does not claim to be linked to the research I posted yesterday, but looks & sounds like it's the same.

To me, it's a win-win, can definitely help & can't hurt.

Wondering if activation of this soleus muscle is at the base of recently published news that walking 2 min after a meal dramatically lowers blood sugar?
