Walking for health

All health weight loss diets need to be accompanied by exercise and sometime this is the most difficult part, which is hard to understand, you do not necessarily need to do aerobics or heave weights simple walking will do, that why we have legs. did you know that walking has other health benefits as well:-

• Reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes
• Manage your weight
• Lower LDL,(bad) cholesterol
• Raise HDL, (good) cholesterol
• Lower blood pressure
• improve your mood
• improve the connectivity of brain circuits

An analysis of 18 walking studies showed that in all walking reduced the the risk of cardiovascular events by 31% and reduced the risk if dying (during the study period) by 32%. those that walk longer are a faster pace gained the most benefit.

You are recommended to do 30 minutes of brisk walking for 5 days a week, like most exercises you need to start slowly to warm the muscles up and cool down for 5 minutes at the end, so your total exercise time will be 40 minutes.

Maybe for the first couple of weeks you can only brisk walk for 5 minutes and as you get fitter ad 5 minutes every couple of weeks so at the end of 11 weeks you are doing the recommended amount.

Now walking on your own can be boring so maybe you can join a walking club and turn it into a social occasion as well.
