Walking is simple, free, and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier. Sometimes overlooked as a form of exercise, walking briskly can help you build stamina, burn excess calories and make your heart healthier.
1. Regular walking has been found to trigger an anti-aging process and help repair old DNA.
2. Exercise/walking could add an additional 3-7 yrs to your life.
3. Walking barefoot allows your body to absorb free electrons from the Earth through the soles of your feet – known as “grounding”
4. Use new age wearable fitness trackers – will help you realize how much more of walking/exercise your body needs.
5. Walking for an hour or two could cut the risk of stroke[1] by as much as one third.
6. Getting up and walking around every two minutes out of every hour can increase your lifespan by 33%.
7. Walking triggers your body to release natural pain-killing endorphins, and the more steps people take during a day, the better their moods tend to be.
8. Good walking shoes – with low and supportive heel and a shoe that fits properly.
