Walking

The list of reasons to walk grows with scientific confirmations.


My grandma subscribed to walking. She was so into a nice walk after dinner that it became a family tradition to walk after family meals, including Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner.
  • Reduce or maintain weight
  • Reduce and manage high blood pressure
  • Strengthens bones
  • Reduce heart disease
  • Reduce risk of osteoporosis
  • Reduce risk of breast and colon cancer


And the pluses
  • More vitamin D
  • Boosts mood
  • Boosts immune function
  • And it just feels good.
