‘Walking’ for a healthy ‘You’

walking-Thyrocare Blog

Walking through the paths of life can bless us with many health benefits for life… Read on to know what advantages Walking offers…

Walking is the best exercise believed by many doctors. It is not just good for losing weight but also helps in lowering your blood pressure, managing diabetes, fights joint problems (arthritis) and also helps in keeping you away from depression

It is one of the easiest exercises to do and doesn’t take more than a pair of shoes to start. Ideal if you loathe running or can’t stand working out in the gym. Walking reduces the risk of several diseases. And unlike other forms of exercise, it doesn’t require an instructor or training, can be done anytime and anywhere. It is great for kids, adults and is recommended for old ones.

Hippocrates II, the Greek physician recognized walking to be a man’s best medicine. It improves your overall health and can also increase your stamina, strength and endurance.

Listed below are the five benefits of walking:-

Cuts your belly fat: Regular walking is a great exercise to burn fat particularly for those who are on the heavier side. In a majority of the cases, body fat is due to lack of exercise and movement. Walking leads to weight loss. Just 45 minutes of walking burns around 200 calories.

Stress, Mood & Sleep: Walking reduces stress levels and enhances your mood by boosting your endorphins (brain chemicals which relieves you from pain and stress levels) giving you more energy and setting a non-stressful environment. Additionally, walking is believed to be beneficial for individuals suffering from insomnia (inability to sleep).

Good for your muscles and bones: Regular walking tones your leg muscles and strengthens your bones. It can prevent the loss of bone mass caused due to osteoporosis (a form of arthritis in which bone becomes weak and brittle) and can also reduce the risk of hip fractures. Likewise, walking also reduces arthritis-related joint pain and can prevent the different forms of arthritis.

Lowers your blood pressure: Individuals suffering from high blood pressure are at risks of serious health conditions like stroke or heart diseases. Among the exercises known to maintain blood pressure at normal rates, first comes walking. Taking a walk 3 times a day is considered to have the same effects on your blood pressure levels as 30 minutes of intense workout.

Walking and diabetes: Walking helps in lowering blood sugar levels and also improves the ability of the muscles to absorb glucose and the body to use insulin, thus, preventing the overall risk of type 2 diabetes.

So don’t wait…Just start Walking!Thyrocare Logo
