It seems obvious that walking is good for our health - but how exactly? Well today i came across a list of proven health benefits...
- enhancing mental health
- reducing cholesterol
- reducing body fat
- reducing the risk of colon cancer
- reducing the risk of coronary disease/stroke
- lowering blood pressure
- helping flexibility and co-ordination
- helping control body weight
Ok, some of the list sounds like things old people worry about, but still it's a fairly comprehensive list. And of course, we can also add the carbon reductions from not driving for ridiculously short trips. That's the planet's health benefit!
