Benefits of walking

Walking is a great Exercise

Walking is an underestimated form of exercise.

Some of the benefits of walking 20 minutes twice a day:

• is just as efficient as running half an hour, three times a week
• counteracts stress
• makes your mind clearer
• improves your memory
• makes you more creative (due to movements of the arms and legs  stimulating both sides of the brain)
• makes you more optimistic and harmonious
• gives you more energy
• increases your metabolism and reduces your weight
• helps the body to heal (due to the increased oxygen level in the blood)
• reduces the risk of having age related diabetes
• reduces the risk of having Osteoporosis
• reduces the risk of dying from cancer
• reduces the risk of dying too soon

If you are a person that don’t move a lot during the day, you can start by walking yourself to a healthier lifestyle. It does not take a lot of effort, and at the same time you can enjoy your surroundings.
