Make One Change April 2019: WALK DAILY

There are SO MANY health benefits of walking, i didn’t know where to begin with this one! Pretty much any health ailment imaginable can be prevented, managed, or improved with walking… and walking is also something pretty much everyone can do. In fact, walking is so good for you that no matter how sick you are, the doctors, nurses, and physio’s in hospital will get you up and doing laps of the corridors as soon as possible!

It doesn’t matter how long, how hard, or how often you walk, as long as it’s daily, and as much and as far as possible!

10,000 steps a day is NOT a medical or evidence based recommendation! However, since the prevailing myth hit popular belief, it has been studied and shown to have significant health benefits! For sedentary people, this is about 6km or 1-1.5hrs a day! Having said that, #betterisbetter… Just do more than yesterday until you get there!

Good news for those of you who find 10,000 steps a day unrealistic. You'll get as good health results (if not better) by completing 3x 10min BRISK walks per day… BRISK! The key is in the intensity, and means only an extra 1500 steps… Full article from @michaelmosley @bbcnews : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42864061 #makeonechangeapr19

From @harvard_health… Exciting benefits of walking for heart health, including lower risk of heart attack and stroke. Walking has it all. Simple and natural, it doesn't require any instruction or skill. It can be a very modest form of exercise or it can demand enough skill and intensity to be an Olympic sport. You can walk alone for solitude or with friends for companionship. You can walk indoors on a treadmill or outside in the city or country, at home or away. You can get all the benefits of moderate exercise with a very low risk of injury. And to boot, walking is inexpensive. All things considered, Charles Dickens got it right: "Walk to be healthy, walk to be happy." https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/walking-your-steps-to-health #makeonechangeapr19

WALK daily, not just for your health, but also because… 🔅 you get to be alone for a bit 🔅 you get vitamin D from the sun 🔅 it's refreshing to be outside 🔅 it's a fun way to explore new places 🔅 it's very low risk of injury (especially when weighed up against all the health benefits!) That's all for now. #makeonechangeapr19

"Healthy postmenopausal women who walk approximately 1 mile each day have higher whole-body bone density than women who walk shorter distances. Walking is also effective in slowing the rate of bone loss from the legs. These results strongly support the widely held belief that walking is a beneficial form of physical activity for maintaining skeletal integrity…" Full article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/8304358/ @medlinepubmed #makeonechangeapr19
