What’s Great For Your Health?
To live longer, minimize our exposure to illness and to control weight, add daily walking to support a healthy lifestyle.
Did you know that walking might also be good for slowing the aging process? Walking is great because it works almost every muscle in the body. Improving circulation to the joints and massaging the blood vessels (keeping them more elastic) are important aspects of a healthy body. Walking also helps us maintain both our muscle mass and metabolism as we age. It also helps us feel younger because movement enhances our psychological wellbeing.
If you are out of shape or not the athletic type, walking is the no-stress solution to daily conditioning.
All it takes is a little time and a few guidelines. Before you start an exercise program, always check with your health professional to help you make the best decisions for you.
Walking is one of the best exercises for strengthening bones, controlling weight, toning the leg muscles, maintaining good posture and improving positive self-concept.
An interesting thought is that if you diet without exercising, you can add more weight over time. Although your weight may initially drop while dieting, such weight loss consists mostly of water and muscle. When the weight returns, it comes back as fat. To avoid adding weight over time, increase your metabolism by exercising daily.
