African savanna animals like zebras live in herds and are protected from natural predators like lions because their striped pattern makes it difficult to pick out a single zebra from the group (which confuses the lion because it cannot focus on a single target to attack).
In Africa, it is said, âWater Is Life,â and we at Healing Hands International believe that everything starts with water. How far do you walk to get water? Four miles? One mile? Or is it just a few steps to the faucet? Every day in developing countries, women and children walk an average of 4 miles to collect water for their family. Not only is this chore keeping the children from attending school, but the dirty water they are bringing home is also killing them at an alarming rate!
If you walk 10,000 steps a day, you will probably do more than 150 minutes and that's great: research suggests that the more activity you do the better, as regular exercise has many benefits. The average person walks between 3,000 and 4,000 steps per day. To find out how many steps you take each day, use a pedometer. If you have a smartphone, you may be able to download a pedometer app. Pedometers measure your every step: around the house, across the office, window shopping, to school or the park.
