One way to prevent the gastric distention that occurs after you eat from placing too much pressure on the LES is to simply go for a walk after meals. This can minimize the pressure by helping accelerate digestive processes, which will empty the stomach and shrink it back to size at a faster rate. It’s likely because of this effect on digestion that a post-dinner walk has been linked to reduced risk of stomach cancer.

As the pancreas in that child develops, it apparently responds to this higher dose of glucose by developing more insulin-secreting cells. So, the higher the blood sugar in the pregnant mother, the more insulin-secreting cells her child will develop, and the more insulin the child will secrete as it gets close to birth. The baby will now be born with more fat, and it will have a tendency to oversecrete insulin and become insulin-resistant itself as it gets older.
