Walking is the Best Medicine

Walking can do that?  YES!  Take a look at the important benefits of simple, easy walking! There's a long list, here are just some of the top benefits:

• Medical research continues to back that walking can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, osteoporosis, claucoma, and many other diseases.
• Walking can be a key to long-term weight control.  When you manage your weight, you lower your risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, sleep apnea, and many other diseases. 
• Walking works to strengthen your heart so it can pump more blood, with less strain to the muscle. This helps just as well as some medicines to keep blood pressure under control.
• Brisk walking for just 30-minutes a day has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease in women by 30%-40%!
• Walking helps to lower the LDL (bad cholesterol) in the blood which can cause plaque to form in the arteries and lead to heart attack.  Walking also works to boost HDL in the blood (good cholesterol).
• Walking works to release chemicals in the brain that almost instantly improve mood, help with stress relief, and even prevent depression.
