Doctor Reveals 5 Health Reasons To Walk Daily for 30 Minutes or More
Starting the new year with a simple habit like walking can do wonders for your health, says Dr Amir Khan, a UK-based general practitioner with the National Health Service. While intense workouts have their benefits, walking is a low-impact activity that can regulate several physiological and psychological systems.
Dr Khan shared on Instagram the top five reasons why everyone should make daily walking a priority:
Walking regularly improves circulation and strengthens the heart, lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases and heart attacks.
A brisk 30-minute walk can help maintain healthy blood pressure levels, reducing strain on arteries and the heart.
Walking helps burn calories and maintain a healthy body weight, making it an effective tool in weight management.
Regular walks release endorphins, reduce stress, and improve mood. They can also help prevent anxiety and depression.
Walking strengthens muscles, improves flexibility, and keeps joints active, lowering the risk of stiffness or arthritis over time.
Dr Khan emphasises that staying active doesn’t always require the gym. Even a simple, daily walk of 30 minutes can bring lasting health benefits and prevent a sedentary lifestyle.
