Walking is the safest and most effective exercise for your health. The change that regular half-hour walking can bring to our bodies is great. Based on data such as "Healthline.com," we outlined the health effects of walking exercises.
1. Weight control
Walking brings about a virtuous cycle of weight control. A person weighing 60 kilograms spends 150 calories when walking 3.6 kilometers for 30 minutes a day. Also, the amount of muscle increases. Through this increase, the basic metabolic rate can be increased to create a virtuous circle of weight control.
2. Improving cardiovascular health
It reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke by 30%. Regular walking increases good cholesterol (HDL) and decreases bad cholesterol (LDL). In addition, it helps prevent diabetes, colon cancer, breast cancer, and uterine cancer.
3. Prevention of osteoporosis
Walking outside during the day increases vitamin D, which is essential for bone health. In addition, increased bone density can prevent osteoporosis.
4. Reinforcement of muscle strength
It can strengthen not only the strength of the lower extremities but also the strength of the various muscles. Walking down the hill will strengthen the hip muscles, which will help create an "Apple hip," and also strengthen the abdominal muscles.
5. Increase vitality and happiness
Walking brings vitality and happiness. In addition, the blood circulation is improved, which increases the oxygen supply in the body cells. Also, tension in muscles and joints is eased, which increases vitality. This effect is also comparable to common antidepressants. It is also effective in reducing stress and anxiety by helping to form endorphins.
6. Prevention of dementia
It also helps prevent dementia. Walking about 10 kilometers a week helps prevent shrinking brain volume and memory loss.
To be sure, once a day, a steady walk is a great help to my health. I feel healthy and mentally healthy, too. I also practice walking 10,000 steps every day, and I'm definitely helping myself a lot. This article makes me feel like I'm doing well again. LOL
