Yes, Walking Helps you To Stay Fit

walking helps reduce the risk of all chronic diseases and is considered a ’wonder drug’ by many doctors and physicians. What makes walking the best form of exercise for your health is the fact that it goes easy on your heart and joints and therefore has a larger impact on your overall health. Strenuous exercise may have bigger and faster impacts on your body, but it can also cause harm to your joints and bones.

1. Walking regulates blood pressure.

Those who chose to walk these 40 minutes all at once saw a drop of 5 points in their blood pressure, while those who chose to take 4 separate 10-minute walks saw a drop of 3 points. The doctors who conducted the study say that it is important for everyone to make the choices that suit them better to get the results they want one way or another.

2. Walking fights breast cancer in women

its researchers have found that 7 hours of walking per week reduces the risk of breast cancer after menopause by 14%. The women who chose to walk more than 7 hours per week and in a faster mode had a 25% less chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer. The study strongly suggests that there is a strong link between physical activity, particularly walking, and keeping breast cancer away.

3. Walking reduces the risk of diabetes.

walking 3,000-7,500 steps per day can be effective in treating or preventing type 2 diabetes. Also, the study advises people to take breaks in between long hours of sitting and to take small walks or do a few exercises that suit their bodies. In other words, walking reduces blood sugar levels, which are in charge of causing type 2 diabetes.

4. Walking helps produce vitamin D.

vitamin D is highly connected with brittle bones, fractures, and difficulty in walking. One effective way to get enough vitamin D is to walk 15-30 minutes a day while the sun is still out. This way, you create a strong shield against cancer, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes — just don’t forget to wear sunscreen!

5. Walking increases creativity.

the creativity of a person rises while they walk and for a short time after they finish. The environment didn’t play a role itself since walking both indoors and outdoors boosted creativity. Many people said that they come up with all of their best ideas when they are walking. Even Mark Zuckerberg and the late Steve Jobs had meetings with their associates while taking a walk.
