PRACTICE WALKING IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE, WALKING NOT ONLY HELPS WEIGHT LOSS, BUT ALSO HELPS YOUR BRAIN, EYES AND SO ON
The most famous physician of the Ancient Greece, Hippocrates (460-377 BC) was the first to release medicine from any kind of religious superstition and to establish it as a science based on observation and case recording, declared in his study that 'WALKING IS A MAN'S BEST MEDICINE".
Walking combined with good sleep and a healthy diet can help one avoid the doctor altogether.
As little as 15-30 minutes of walking every day can drastically improve not only a person's overall appearance, but also his health as well.
Good old walking is a single practice which could significantly benefit the whole body and mind. Its free, easy and requires little effort mentally first of all.
Below is the list of priceless benefits one can literally walk himself into:-
1. Positive Brain changes
As a study reveals, low impact aerobic exercises, like walking, prevent dementia, reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and improve overall mental health.
Not to mention reducing mental stress and maintaining a higher level of endorphins.
2. Improved Eye sight
Even though eyes might seem like the last thing to be connected with the legs, walking actually benefits their health too. It may even help to fight glaucoma by relieving eye pressure.
3. Prevention of heart diseases
According to the American Heart Association, walking is no less effective than running when it comes to the prevention of heart-related disease or stroke.
This activity helps avoid heart problems by lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol levels and improving blood circulation.
Walking is an aerobic exercise which increases oxygen flow in the blood stream and helps train your lungs, as well as eliminate toxins and waste.
Because of better and deeper breathing, some symptoms associated with lung disease may also be relieved.
5. Beneficial effects on the Pancreas
It might be hard to believe but walking for exercise turns out to be a much more effective tool in preventing diabetes than running.
This research shows that a group of "walkers" demonstrated improvement in glucose tolerance almost 6 times greater, ( which means how well blood sugar is absorbed by cells) than that of a group of regular "runners" over a 6 months observatory period.
6. Improved digestion
Regular 30 minutes of walking every day could not only lower the risk of colon cancer in future, but improve your digestion and constipation by helping to regulate one's bowel movements.
7. Toned muscles
Muscle tone and weight loss (in overweight cases) may also be achieved through walking. The practice of walking 10,000 steps a day may be counted as an actual workout in a gym, especially if one adds some spells of walking uphill.
8. Sturdier bones and joints
Walking can provide more joint mobility, prevent loss of bone mass and even reduce risk of fractures. The Arthritis Foundation recommends walking moderately at least 30 minutes every day on a regular basis to reduce pain in your joints, along with stiffness and inflammation.
9. Back Pain relief
Walking may become a real life-saver for those who experience back pain during more challenging high- impact exercises.
Since it's a low impact activity it will not cause more pain or discomfort, like running or HIT would. Walking contributes to better blood circulation within the spinal structures and improves posture and flexibility which is vital for a healthy spine.
10, A Calmer Mind
If walking improves depression symptoms in patients with major depression disorders, just imagine how easily it could help us cope with feeling down or exhausted.
And a joyful walk with a friend or a loved one will only multiply the happy effect and improve your overall mood!!
