……More GOODNESS:
Walking is one of the simplest forms and also the most effective form of exercise. Good for sedentary

workers!

Regular walking, like most aerobic activities, is good because cardio-vascular exercise strengthens the

heart and lungs, increasing overall fitness.

Walking is low impact. It does not have the same potential for injury as jogging or other strenuous forms

of activities, yet offers all the benefits.

Founder had asked me to mention the benefits of walking. So here goes…..

Some BENEFITS mentioned by doctors are:

1) good for bones and improves the body’s cardiovascular system. It also helps boost circulation.
2) helps to drain the lower legs of excess fluid and can help prevent varicose veins through the pumping
      action of the calf muscles.
3) people tend to be able to walk at a consistent speed than run, it is a more beneficial form of
      tissue-cleansing.
4) also better for the spine than running, as it puts less stress on the discs.   Human beings were
      designed for constant movement, not sitting in cars or in front of computers, which causes negative
      pressures on our spinal cord.
5) Regular walking is excellent for spinal discs, which receive minerals and vitamins through the
      pumping action it causes.

LET THE JOY OF DOING A PLEASANT ACTIVITY BE THERE ALWAYS! emoticon
