Walking is healthy
Making physical exercises is something that we all know it is important. Every doctor will recommend walking every day for any patient no matter their age or their health problems.
Most people when they think about physical exercises will start searching for a gym, or for aerobics DVDs. Other people will say that their health does not allow them to jog or do other types of cardio exercises.
Benefits of walking
I say that there is a chance for everyone and in the following rows of this article we will talk about walking. This is the easiest way to exercise in a moderate way and even if you might not be able to practice cardio, you can certainly walk.
What benefits a long walk session could bring? How it will improve your entire lifestyle? These are just two questions to which I will try to reveal the answer.
Lose weight
One of the main purposes for which people want to exercise more is to lose weight. This is one of the things a three miles walk could do for you. You may not do it every day, but if you do it with regularity the results will show up.
Even if your diet might not be too restrictive, when you exercise your body this way you burn calories and you will also tone your muscle mass. The good news is that one of the body parts that will become smaller is the belly.
You know that once you gained some fat on your belly, losing it is one of the hardest tasks. We have some tips for a flat belly as well, if you want to have a look.
From my personal experience, when I started a diet, my feet got slimmer, my bottom and arms as well, but the belly fat was more stubborn. I hate the idea of going to a gym and I usually give up quite easily.
This is one of the reasons why I do not do aerobic exercises in my living room either. The good news is that I love to walk. The results will show up quite fast considering that I am talking about a three miles walk performed almost every day.
Your digestion
Because I spoke earlier about the weight loss effect, now it might be a good moment to talk about digestion. Usually after a great meal you feel like sitting down and rest.
When you are not able to do that and you want to regain your energy level, you drink a great coffee. The coffee effects are well known when it comes about digestion.
I will offer you another option. You should forget about the comfy sofa and go outside for a walk. I am not talking about a 20 minutes’ walk.
You should try a three miles walk. Your bowels activity along with your metabolism will be improved and you will notice this change.
Decreases the chances of getting a chronic disease
Not only your bowels and metabolism will be changed in a better direction. Your body will be able to release the proper amount of insulin.
This means that any doctor who must treat a person who has diabetes will recommend physical activities and a long three miles walk turned into a regular routine will get you out of trouble.
Diabetes is not the only chronic disease that can be held under control through walking. High blood pressure is another thing that will be controlled much more easily than before.
This means that a heart attack or a stroke can be avoided just by creating this healthy routine in your life.
Many people, due to many external factors develop another disease, namely varicose veins. This is a very serious illness and in the last period I have personally seen many young people affected by varicose in the worst way possible.
Regular walking routine is a great solution to delay this illness to emerge. Some people get this disease genetically, and by practicing physical exercises to improve the blood circulation will certainly delay the varicose veins appearance.
