#WalkingBenifits
What happens to Your Body When You Walk?
Just put one foot in front of the other, bend your arms and start moving
As little as 15-30 minutes of walking every day can drastically improve not only a person’s overall appearance, but health as well.
Following are list of benefits you can literally walk yourself into.
1. Burns Your Fat
Excess body fat is very dangerous to your health.
It is largely responsible for weight gain and can be potentially dangerous to the body.
In addition, many people feel uncomfortable with their bellies and seek to specifically lose belly fat.
All you need to do to begin this effort is to start walking!
Do note, though, that you need to walk at a fast enough rate so that your heart rate increases and your breathing becomes deeper.
2. Improves Eyesight
Yes, it’s certainly surprising!!
But did you know that regular walks can do wonders for your vision?
Though exercise isn’t necessarily closely linked to your eyes,
your vision can still benefit from walking every day.
It may even help to fight glaucoma by relieving eye pressure.
3. Prevention of heart diseases
According to the American Heart Association, walking is no less effective than running
when it comes to the prevention of heart-related disease or stroke.
This activity helps avoid heart problems by lowering high blood pressure and
cholesterol levels and improving blood circulation.
4. Toned muscles
Muscle tone and weight loss (in overweight cases) may also be achieved through walking.
The practice of walking 10,000 steps a day may be counted as an actual workout in a gym,
especially if you add some intervals or walking uphill.
Additionally, it’s low impact and there’s no recovery time,
which means no sore muscles and regrets for missing tomorrow’s workout due to being too sore the next day.
5. It can even help you live longer!
Ever wonder how people from Blue Zones are able to live to 100?
Their secret to a longer and healthier life involves walking and getting outside.
A study showed that adults between the ages of 70 and 90
who left the house and were physically active lived longer than those who didn’t.
Staying active also helps you stay connected to loved ones and friends
who can provide emotional support, which is especially important as you age.
6. Digestion will improve by walking more.
If you currently praise coffee for keeping your digestive system going strong,
get ready to start thanking your morning walk instead.
That’s because a regular walking routine can greatly improve your bowel movements.
“One of the very first things an abdominal surgery patient is required to do is to walk
because it utilizes core and abdominal muscles, encouraging movement in our GI system.
8. Vitamin D
Go for a walk outside (The Most Surprising Sources of Vitamin D)
and absorb all of the Vitamin D you can.
According to research, “our body creates most of our vitamin D from direct sunlight on our skin.”
It is essential for healthy bones and teeth.
9. Body Releases Tension
Walking warms up your muscles and stretches them through motion.
According to research… gentle walking is the best exercise to help gently stretch out your muscles through motion.
Take long strides and gently swing your arms to get the full stretching benefits.
10 Increased lung volume
Walking encourages your lungs to properly function as you inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
You breathe harder when you walk.
so your body makes use of more oxygen and dispenses more carbon dioxide.
If your body is already used to the physical activity,
your lungs will make use of the oxygen and carbon dioxide more efficiently.
Your circulation also speeds up as your lung muscles keep moving.
This process strengthens your lung capacity or the amount of air that your lungs can take in.
