Walk your way to better Health
Walking for exercise is a purposeful,
brisk walk specifically designed for the
purpose of improving health. It is one of
the best and cheapest forms of exercise.
If you want to improve your general
health and keep fit, or if you want to
reduce your weight, walking is a good
place to start.
Walking keeps you fit and helps you take
off extra weight and keep it off. It's
cheap, it's simple and almost anybody can
do it. Walking has a multitude of health
benefits for everyone. Walking helps
reduce the risk of coronary heart disease
and stroke, lowers high blood pressure,
helps reduce weight and body fat, helps
reduce risk of some cancers, gives you
more energy, helps you sleep better,
helps you look better and helps those
people who are recovering from a period
of ill-health.
Walking for exercise does not need to be
strenuous to produce results. Even
walking for 30 minutes a day has been
reported to produce measurable benefits,
even among those who are least active.
If you want to feel great, have more
energy and improve your overall health,
take a walk. Walking is one of the best
forms of exercise and you can do it
almost anywhere, anytime, and for free.
Do at least 30 minutes of exercise, like
brisk walking, most days of the week. The
idea is to use up more calories than you
eat. You need to use up the day's
calories and some of the calories stored
in your body fat.
Along with its benefits to the heart,
walking improves circulation, helps
breathing, combats depression, bolsters
the immune system, helps prevent
osteoporosis, helps control weight and
helps prevent and control diabetes. It's
a gentle exercise and it’s suitable
if you are recovering from heart trouble,
a stroke or other illness. It helps the
total circulation of blood throughout the
body, and thus has a direct effect on
your overall feeling of health.
Remember, if you have a medical
condition, are overweight, over 40 years
of age or haven't exercised regularly for
a long time, check with your doctor
before you start any type of exercise
program. Your doctor or other health
worker can help you set sensible goals
based on a proper weight for your height,
build and age.
