Why walk? “There’s no
question that increasing exercise, even moderately, reduces the risks or many
diseases, including coronary heart disease, breast and colon cancer and Type 2
diabetes,” said Dr. David
Bouda. “Research has even
shown that you could gain two hours of life for each hour that you exercise
regularly.”
According to the American
Heart Association, walking as little as 30 minutes a day can provide these
health benefits, as well as:
·
Improve blood pressure and blood sugar levels
·
Help maintain a healthy body weight and lower the risk
of obesity
·
Enhance mental well-being
·
Reduce the risk of osteoporosis
