Walk Your Way to Better Health
soul. Physical activity, like
walking, is one of the best
ways to reduce stress and
boost your mood. However,
reports show walking rates
are declining steadily in the
United States.
On average, 1 out of every
4 U.S. adults sits for longer
than eight hours each day,
per research from the Centers of Disease
Control and Prevention, which
can have negative consequences on
physical and mental health. Regular
exercise improves mood, boosts energy
and can even help you sleep better.
Staying active is one of the best
ways to keep your mind and body
healthy.
Consider this advice from the
American Heart Association, which
has worked for decades to promote
policies and strategies that make it
easier for communities to get and
stay active. One example is National
Walking Day, established by the
organization to encourage people to

move more throughout the day so
they can feel, think, sleep and live
better.
Indeed, adding more movement
can benefi t your body and mind in
numerous ways, such as:
Lowering disease risk. Getting
the recommended amount of physical
activity (at least 150 minutes of
moderate, 75 minutes of vigorous
or a combination of those activities
per week) is linked to lower risk of
diseases, stronger bones and muscles,
improved mental health and
cognitive function and lower risk
of depression, according to the U.S
Department of Health and Human
Services.
Increasing sunlight exposure.
Outdoor exercise is an
easy way to get moving and
take in the sunlight, which
can improve mood, boost immunity
and help you get some
vitamin D. Spending time
outdoors is a no-cost option
and has been shown to reduce
stress, promote a sense of belonging
and improve mood.
Improving cognitive and
mental function. Physical activity
keeps your mind sharp
now and later. Studies show higher
fi tness levels are linked to better attention,
learning, working memory
and problem solving. What’s more,
a study published in the “British
Journal of Sports Medicine” shows
people who get the recommended
amount of physical activity are less
likely to develop depression.
Living longer. Healthy life expectancy
can be positively impacted
by increasing activity. According to
research published in the “American
Journal of Epidemiology,” swapping
just 30 minutes of sitting with
low-intensity physical activity reduced
risk of death by 17%.
