Walking is an intrinsic human function that can play many roles. First of all, it helps to clear the mind, adjust the mind, and calm us down. Second, it is a good exercise that can help adjust the legs, reduce weight, improve lung ventilation and overall health. This is also a good way to reduce the risk of heart disease. It can temporarily speed up the heart rate, increase the body's blood circulation, and bring more oxygen to other organs. At the same time, walking can increase the vitality of the lungs. It absorbs oxygen from the air, lowers blood pressure, and improves cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Walking can help slow down the aging process, no matter which age you start, it can work. It has a small impact and does not require special equipment or skills, and can be done at your own pace at any time of the day. In addition, you can walk without worrying about the risks usually associated with some forms of strenuous exercise.

When we walk, we carry our own weight. It is called weight-bearing exercise and some of its benefits are:

• Increase heart and lung health
• Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
• Improve management of hypertension, diabetes, muscle and joint stiffness
• Improve blood lipid characteristics
• Increase muscle strength
• Reduce body fat.

In order to achieve overall and heart health benefits, it is necessary to walk at least 30 minutes a day, as quickly as possible. Being brisk means you can still speak, but it can swell slightly. It doesn't even have to be non-stop; three 10-minute walks a day can work effectively. You will help lower your blood pressure and strengthen your heart by walking on a regular basis. So try to make your daily walk in the following ways:

• Take the stairs and avoid the elevator
• Take a public transport one or two stops early, then walk to the final destination [home or work]
• Walk instead of driving to a local store
• Bring children to school
• Park your car farther from your destination.

As already mentioned, regular walking triggers the anti-aging process and also helps repair old DNA. To stay motivated, take a walk with friends or colleagues at lunch, walk the dog or neighbor's dog, join the walking club, use the pedometer or mobile app to measure the number of steps per day and start gradually increasing it. It is recommended to start from 2,000 steps and strive to achieve the 5000 step goal. Once you have achieved your desired goals, you may only want to stay healthy or set a goal of 10,000 steps. Keep in mind that even a little walk is good, but the more the better.

But put your safety first. If the weather is bad and the street is slippery, you'd better walk into the mall, take a long corridor or take the stairs.
