Walk and Grow Rich

Most people these days hardly walk. Go from house to car to car park to office and retrace the steps coming home. We have forgotten the usefulness of Walking in our daily lives and do not really find time to Walk.

I am writing this blog to encourage all of us to realize the usefulness of walking and start this simple method of exercise to improve our lot on several fronts. There are at least 10(ten) beneficial things that happen to our body if we walk every day. 30 minutes walk is the best exercise. According to researches done at various medical centers, one being Harvard as they found it reduces the risk of death by 30%.

How does walking affect us?

• Walking improves Mental health. Just like a small amount of wine or a bit of Dark Chocolate reduces Stress. Walking does the same by increasing the level of Endorphins in our system thereby reducing stress and reduce the risk of Dementia as well as reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s. Overall improvement in Mental health by just merely walking every day.
• Eyesight improvement — It is hard to imagine walking helping with eyesight but it definitely helps reduce eye pressure and helping avert Glaucoma.
• Beneficial to the heart. As an exercise, walking helps prevent Cardiovascular Accidents, lowers Blood Pressure, Helps to decrease Cholesterol, and improves blood circulation.
• Lungs — Walking definitely helps increase Lung capacity helps eliminate various toxins from the body, therefore, helping in decreased incidents of Respiratory Diseases.
