Walking Made Me More Healthier

There's no need to run. Just going for a brisk walk — in the park, around the block or on a treadmill — may be enough to help keep your heart healthy, a small study suggests. The study, which indicates roughly two to three hours of mild exercise a week at a moderate intensity can significantly cut the risk of cardiovascular disease, supports earlier research. Walking is a simple and effective way to lose weight, keep in shape and maintain good health. Walking can be done with family, friends or by yourself. It can be done by most people. You don’t need any special equipment apart from appropriate clothing and a pair of comfortable shoes. You can walk in most places both outside and inside. Many malls have walking programs that allow walkers to come in on off-hours and use the mall layout as an indoor track. Walking at a brisk but comfortable pace for 20 to 30 minutes, three times a week increases the oxygen intake to the blood and strengthens your heart. It improves the circulation and lowers blood pressure. It helps you to lose or maintain your weight as a brisk walk burns up to 100 calories per mile – more if you are very overweight. Walking helps your body to regulate blood sugar, and cholesterol levels. Walking slows down the growth of arthritis and degenerative joint diseases. It helps build bone structure so reduces the likelihood of osteoporosis developing.
