New developements in walking



I was searching cnn.com to find a health story to share (Because kt says i should). And i see and article that says walking is a healthy activity. HMMMM i thought, is this really new news? so being the curious george that i am i looked at it and found some exciting information about a low excitement activity. From what i read walking can lower your body fat that contains estrogen, which leads to breast cancer, so in turn walking reduces breast cancer, which is great news. if you you consciously relax, improve the alignment of your body, and involve arm movements, puts less stress on the legs while you walk ( known as Chi (CH-EE) walking). than you can actually reduce body aches and pains. hooray walking.walking also increases your mental activity (the article says i guess) so it says that in the elderly you can help fight alzheimer's which is fantastic, walking-3 sitting on the couch-0. Plus there are all those previously known beneFITs (fit pun intended) that walking has. Stronger bones, keeps you slim, releases endorphins in your brain, and its good for your heart.
