Guess what I got? (Part 2)
Last week I posted about my “step counter app” that I got,
and some of the benefits.

Here we are with Part 2,
and 5 more benefits to walking.
1. Enhances sleep quality:
Walking can contribute to better sleep quality by
promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and
increasing the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter
that regulates sleep.
2. Boosts immune function:
Moderate-intensity walking has been shown to strengthen
the immune system and reduce the risk of respiratory
infections. Regular physical activity enhances the circulation
of immune cells in the body, improving their ability to
combat pathogens.
3. Increases energy levels:
Walking increases oxygen flow throughout the body and improves
overall circulation, resulting in increased energy levels and reduced
feelings of fatigue.
4. Low impact and accessible:
Walking is a low-impact exercise that puts less stress on joints
compared to high-impact activities like running. It is a highly
accessible activity that can be done almost anywhere, requiring
no special equipment or facilities.
5. Social engagement:
Walking can be a social activity, providing an opportunity to
spend time with friends, family, or pets. It can foster social
connections and support overall well-being.
And remember….
It’s important to start gradually and consult with a healthcare professional
before beginning any new exercise routine, especially if you have any
underlying health conditions.
