Walking is one oif the most healthy activities a person can do, especially for those who are overweight or 50+ years old. In either of these cases, your body may not be ready for certain exercises that are much more intense.
Walking has many benefits, including:
- Physical health: Walking can improve your cardiovascular and pulmonary fitness, reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke, and help you maintain a healthy weight. It can also strengthen your bones and muscles, and improve your balance and coordination.
- Mental health: Walking can improve your mood, reduce stress and anxiety, and decrease the risk of depression. It can also help you sleep better, and even improve sleep outcomes for people with insomnia or sleep apnea.
- Social health: Walking is a great way to meet new people and connect with neighbors. It can also improve communication and academic performance in children.
- Community health: Walking can help make your community stronger. Social scientists have found that as more people walk, neighborhood crime rates fall and the local economy improves.
- Joint health: Walking can help support your joints by bringing oxygen and nutrients into the cartilage.
