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!
Since then, the suggestion has been studied and found to have significant health benefits, especially for people who live a more sedentary life. Walking 10,000 steps equates to about five miles a day, which is quite an increase for those who sit at a desk all day. It comes out to about 90 active minutes a day, which is three times the amount recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Instead, it recommends adults engage in 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, such as brisk walking.
