The impact of walking on life

     How long has it been since I walked? Many of you guys prefer to run and exercise but some of us just love to walk as a way to de-stress. It’s easy, free and so relaxing! There are so many benefits of walking. One of the lightest and most relaxing sports I've always loved to do.

   The more modern a city becomes, it seems like walking is something few people do, especially around me. But I'm trying to get back into it. Walking is not only good for your health; you can enjoy the sights and sounds of your surroundings while you move. Walking to work or walk home from work also gives you some time alone, which can't be bad every now and again!
    And there’s something about the rhythm of walking that can be strangely satisfying. Maybe it’s because you can meander, observing things along the way. Maybe it's because you're interacting with your environment at a very different level than if you were in a car or on a motorcycle.

     Yet most effective exercises you can choose. With just a pair of shoes and some fresh air, you can already embark on your journey to improve quality of life! Walk at least 500 meters as a beginner.

5 Reasons why you must to walk

1. Researchers at the London School of Economics (LSE) found that less physical activity was associated with greater depression over time.

    Walking is one of the most popular forms of exercise into our busy lives. Walking can relieve depression by researchers, who found that walking for 45 minutes per day can reduce your risk of depression by around 10 percent. This is because the more you walk the more oxygen you receive, which improves your mood and energy levels. It also releases endorphins that make you feel good

2. Pay attention to weight, heart and mental health

    The best way to lose weight is by walking longer every day for 40 minutes. Walking can strengthen your heart, help you live longer and improve your mental health.

    Walking is a great exercise for your bones and joints, as well as your heart and lungs. It strengthens muscles, burns calories and boosts levels of “good” cholesterol.
