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

Omaha joins a growing list of communities nationwide that have created local Walk With a Doc (WWAD) programs. WWAD was created by Dr. David Sabgir, a cardiologist who practices at Mount Carmel Health Systems in Columbus, OH and he has been walking every weekend since 2005. The expansion and support of the program is thanks to Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
