Understanding Postprandial Physiology: How Meals Impact Our Bodies

Postprandially refers to the time period after a meal or snack. It is often used in medical and nutritional contexts to describe the changes that occur in the body after consuming food.

For example, postprandial blood sugar levels are the levels of glucose in the blood after eating a meal. Postprandial insulin secretion is the release of insulin from the pancreas in response to eating.

Understanding postprandial physiology can help healthcare professionals and researchers better understand how dietary choices and meal timing affect overall health and disease risk.
