Over a couple of years, researchers have invested lots of time
and assets to figure out how walking helps, to reduce stroke risks,
control diabetes, and blood pressure, prevent osteoarthritis, reduce
weight and lots more. Your regular walking exercise can give you
undeniable results, based on your fast, moderate and slow walk.
Lower Heart Disease Risk:
Regular walking can strengthen your heart and lower your cholesterol. Every day 30 mins' brisk walking controls the high blood pressure which is one of the common causes of strokes. Scientists found that walking reduces the risk of cardiovascular events by 31% and cuts the risk of an early death by 32%.
Prevents Dementia
Aged people who walk six miles or more per week are more easily to obviate the brain shrinkage and conserve a memory. According to studies, walking is good for boosting a memory. Oldies, who love music can take an iPod with them for an enjoyable walk.
Boost Immunity
A daily moderate speed walk of 30 to 45 minutes' can also increase the immune system cells, over a period of time. The study shows that walking at least 20 minutes a day could reduce the risk of getting sicker by almost 43%.
Prevent cancer
The Study found that women who walk up to 7 hours a week cuts down the risk of breast cancer itself by 14%. According to Harvard University Women's Health Study, a lady who walk for 1 to 3 hours a week reduces the risk of death from breast and uterine cancer by almost 19%. So if you provide a more time for a walk like 3 to 5 hours per week then you can reduce the risk of breast and uterine cancer to almost 54%. Hence, explore a new path for walking with your partner or your friend in the neighborhood.
Control Diabetes
A Brisk walk is a great way to control diabetes. A 30- to 40-minute moderate walk can help lower blood sugar for 24 hours. Keep your spine straight and your chin up while you walk. Comfortable clothes & a good pair of walking shoes can lead you a successful result.
Helps to Reduce the Weight
With the moderate walking speed (2mph) can easily burn 75 to 90 calories in just 30 mins. If you increase your speed you can burn more calories in a short time. For fun, you can walk with a friend, neighbor, or a pet. If you like to exercise alone then you can buy a manual curved treadmill for home or you can place it at the office also. Researchers found that walking could cut the effects of obesity-promoting genes by half.
Improve Your Mood
A brisk walk makes you happy by reducing the stress. A recent study reveals that if a depressed person walks for 30 to 45 minutes five times a week, then walking boost mood and help to cut down depression. In sunny weather go outside, get vitamin D and ameliorate your mood. A group walks in nature significantly let down the depression. So for positive mental health, walking is a must.
I personally feel that walking is the foundation for good health and makes life better. Please share your thoughts on it!
