• Bone Health: Walking about 30 minutes a day increases your bone density and slows down bone loss in your legs. This low-impact exercise targets your legs, spine, and hips.
• Depression: Walking is proven to prevent anxiety and depression because it triggers endorphins and promotes relaxation.
• A Healthy Heart: Walking helps prevent type 2 diabetes- studies at Harvard have revealed that walking approximately 150 minutes per week can reduce the risk of diabetes.
• Help Combat Cancer: A Harvard University study showed that women who walked 1 to 3 hours per week had risk of death from breast and uterine cancer reduced by 19%. When they walked 3 to 5 hours per week, their risks of the same cancers were reduced by 54%. Men who walk briskly for at least 3 hours a week after being diagnosed with prostate cancer were 57% less likely to see the disease progress.
