Physical activity does not have to be difficult or complex.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be accomplished simply with
a brisk 30 minute walk a day! Many individuals take for granted this
elementary action, yet are unaware of the numerous health benefits it can
provide if done properly and consistently. Picking up a routine incorporating
a brisk (three miles-per-hour) walk, can decrease the risk of developing
heart disease, arthritis and combat the effects of genetic obesity.
Studies have been looking into the benefits of a daily brisk walk for years,
and they have proven the many positive outcomes of this form of exercise.
In other words, get moving!
As many know, any form of aerobic exercise can help burn off
excess body fat. However, did you know that daily walking can also
counteract the effects of genetic weight promoting factors by nearly half?
When you get your legs moving and your arms swinging, you're promoting
blood flow throughout the body, which also helps to lower blood
pressure and break down developing blood clots. Additionally,
this action increases the production of fluid in between your joints, which
promotes nutrient delivery to your bones and bursa (cushion in
between your bones). The Arthritis Foundation states that the increased
flow to your bones not only negates the onset or development of arthritis,
but it also helps to strengthen bones in general. It was concluded that this
simple action can diminish the risk of hip fractures by 40 percent!
By putting one foot in front of the other, you can walk yourself
towards the path to a healthier life!
