Our dog would cuddle in close, having already been walked and fed. We were in for the night. But this May, we had a baby girl, and everything about our schedule changed. So much about new parenthood is chaotic, but one routine we\u2019ve adopted is something I wish I had done sooner, and I recommend it to anyone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"slate-paragraph slate-graf\" data-word-count=\"135\" data-uri=\"slate.com\/_components\/slate-paragraph\/instances\/cm22cmlkj000r3b72yq7bzm5d@published\">One evening when our daughter was 2 months old, in an attempt to comfort her, we all went for a walk, hoping to ease her into sleep. During that 15-minute outing, the sky was beginning to turn a darker shade, and it ushered in a breeze, which shook the trees. Only a sliver of light remained. My husband, the baby, our 7-year-old golden doodle, and I sauntered through the neighborhood at a leisurely pace. We cooed at our daughter, my husband\u2019s arm draped over my shoulder, enjoying the lack of background noise (other than a passing siren\u2014we do live in a city). I\u2019d grown up, raised by a single mother, in the same community complex where we now lived. Yet as well as I knew the area, I\u2019d never experienced it in this way before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"slate-paragraph slate-graf\" data-word-count=\"41\" data-uri=\"slate.com\/_components\/slate-paragraph\/instances\/cm22cmlno000t3b72cdr7pejh@published\">By the time we got home, the baby was fast asleep. Our usual TV time began, and everyone\u2014the grown-ups, the dog too\u2014had melted into a state of full relaxation. \u201cWow, we should do this every night,\u201d I suggested. And we did.<\/p>\n<aside data-uri=\"slate.com\/_components\/in-article-recirc\/instances\/cm22cmivy002ctpm4jbrs8gmz@published\" class=\"in-article-recirc\" data-via=\"article-inline_recirc-section-life\">\n<ol class=\"in-article-recirc__list\">\n<li class=\"in-article-recirc__item\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/life\/2024\/10\/tinder-bumble-dating-app-singles-events.html\" class=\"in-article-recirc__link\"><\/p>\n<p>            Dating Apps Destroyed In-Person Romance.

Even a brief stroll can promote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9008579\/\">better mental health<\/a>, and taking one after a meal benefits physical health. After a person eats, their blood-sugar levels typically spike for up to an hour. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/36715875\/\">2023 study<\/a>, even a five-minute walk after food consumption (versus remaining sedentary) can lower those glucose levels\u2014a practice that when done regularly can ultimately decrease the long-term risk of diabetes and heart disease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"slate-paragraph slate-graf\" data-word-count=\"46\" data-uri=\"slate.com\/_components\/slate-paragraph\/instances\/cm22cmlpk000v3b72bl0p0913@published\">But the purpose is also more simple than that:\u00a0The postdinner walk is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/what-is-a-glimmer-5323168\">glimmer in my life<\/a>, a small thing that triggers joy.
