Daily Walk - Walking Works

Every alternative therapist recommends a half hour daily walk, on flat ground, for heart patients. Jogging is not advisable. If you experience chest pain or breathlessness while walking, stop, rest, and then begin again at a lower speed. Here are all the benefits one can expect from taking this little effort for the heart:

  • Exercise strengthen the heart, and makes it more effective both during work and rest
  • Blood pressure remains in control
  • Blood cholesterol level and diabetes are controlled because of the body's enhanced ability to metabolise glucose
  • Helps weight reduction by mobilising excess fat from the body
  • Indirectly encourages people to quit smoking for maintaining proper health and fitness
  • Improves flexibility and builds muscles
  • Decreases LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol)
  • Increases HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol)
  • Increases energy store in the body
  • Increases energy store in the body
  • Increases tolerance to anxiety, stress and depression
