Walking controls heart attack & diabetes

Walking is the key to health I agree Ebenz. So less walking in this place here, people drive everywhere even across the street.

It's a very good topic @writerjo Walking is very beneficial. Our muscles need constant exercise and the carbohydrates need to burn. Walking not only burns calories off sugars, but also fat. Otherwise there will be accumulation of excess calories and that shows as our increased weight. The usage of fat during walking does prevent forming plaques in the arteries, warding off heart problems. I take a walk most evenings and it helps to keep myself in shape. I have a tendency to swell if not exercising

Yes, it is always good to walk instead of ride a vehicle. Walking is the best exercise to strengthen our body and muscles and of course for our heart. I go for my morning and evening walk but sometimes I miss it.

Walking is one thing I do, whether I walk the dogs, or I go to the mall or elsewhere to shop, I walk a lot. It is good for me I know, but, I have lower back pain that if I am on my feet to long, it will flare up and really start hurting. Before the back pain, I could walk longer and I could stand up with no problem. Oh the joys of getting old/

I always plan on walking but one thing or another stops me. I do have to get back to it. Thanks for reminding me.

That's very good. I prefer walking too but when it's summers here, I can't walk much. I prefer using car

Walking is very good exercise. It is not hard on your body and you will lose weight and be healthier.

Thank you. That's very informative. I regularly do brisk walking because I don't have any choice. My place is kind of far away from the main street and I don't know how to drive yet so I don't have a choice but to walk. On contrary, I guess its very beneficial coz even though I'm busy at least I had chances to do some brisk walking going to work.

I always walk after meals so my food can digest faster. I don't want to feel bloated up after meals or else I would feel sleepy and won't be able to do my work at the office. And a good advantage is to park my car further from the eating place so I can have a long walk to my car.

I agree the more you walk the better your mental and physical health. the mental health benefits from it as it removes brain toxins. and physical health improves because you remove the diabetic troubles with that.

I'm a huge fan of walking, and love nothing more than to take a brisk walk either first thing in the morning before the world comes to life or early evening when the world's just winding down. I've also heard doctors recommend walking as it's kinder on the knees and joints.

I used to walk 15 minutes in the morning and also in the afternoon going to work and going home, sometimes in weekend I want to walk long more hours to burn more calories.

Walking definitely has countless health benefits.

Walking is simplest and better way of excising. Where are you? Can't find you for long time. Waiting for you!!

You are right. Walking has so many benefits. Here we have a saying: Have a walk after dinner, you will live until 99.

I walk in brisk steps every morning , when i go out of the subdivision to go to the main road where i can take a jeepney ride to the office . I also do exercise on weekends .

I love to walk... especially if I can listen to a story at the same time. I don't know how many miles I have walked this summer... and it was all worth it. :)

The advice is really good, but how many of us can follow? Cardiac problems and diabetes are increasing at an alarming rate all over the world because of lifestyle changes. Nowadays, even young men and women below 35 have been suffering from cardiac arrest, which was unbelievable even 20 years ago.

Have a good walk on a nice Summer day. Keep it up. I like early mornings for a walk. I once thought I could walk 100 miles but I usually never walk much more than a few miles in one stretch.

@writerjo walking is one of the good habits. It helps to prevent diabetes and reduce fat too. And also it's one of good exercising habit.
