With a number of new illnesses and diseases being exposed by science daily and not forgetting the well known risk of “obesity” which tends to arise among every other person these days, we come to think of ways all these illnesses can be avoided. The answer isn’t very complicated, if you ask yourself. A healthy lifestyle is the answer you are looking for.
In Today’s full of activity world, people find it very difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle.What if you were told, that just by taking an hour or even half out of your daily routine for yourself, you could maintain a proper healthy lifestyle? Wouldn’t that be amazing? Well folks, it is true. All you need to do is take out this time and go for a walk. It’s as simple as that!
These days we see many people walking in parks on a regular basis. Not all, but most people are advised by their doctors to make a habit of taking a walk for around 30 minutes to 1 hour daily. You don’t have to make lot of struggle to spare time for this. Some people go to the park in the morning and some after work. Many people manage this just by slightly adjusting their daily routine.
Experts say you can lose up to 150 to 100 calories just by taking a 30 minutes’ walk. If you repeat this, you can actually begin to lose 200 to 300 calories a day. That may not seem like a huge amount, but when you start walking, you also start thinking.
The physiological effect this in turn brings to your life is indescribable. Your body, itself, seems to recognize the effort you are putting into making it healthier. This leads you to eating less or in proper meals rather than you did before. Because of the walk, you also become energized, which at the end of the day tends to put your body to a proper rest. You feel much happier, and this walk eventually removes all stress. If you take a walk in the day, when it is sunny, you actually receive the proper intake of Vitamin D, directly from the sun, which your body requires.
Walking is a great cardio exercise. It prevents a number of chronic illnesses such as risk of Heart Disease, Stroke or Blood pressure. It also lowers your levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while increasing levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. A regular walking habit cuts out the risk of type 2 diabetes by 60 percent, and you’re 20 percent less likely to develop cancer.
With all the Health benefits described above, it would be crazy for us not to incorporate this easy process into our daily lives. Walking is a gentle exercise that’s easy, free and easily available accessible to everyone.
