Walk Your Way to Better Health
Family Features
A walk is not just good
for your body, it’s
also good for your
soul. Physical activity, like
walking, is one of the best
ways to reduce stress and
boost your mood. However,

On average, 1 out of every
4 U.S. adults sits for longer
than eight hours each day,
per research from the Centers of Disease
Control and Prevention, which
can have negative consequences on
physical and mental health. Regular
exercise improves mood, boosts energy
and can even help you sleep better.
Staying active is one of the best
ways to keep your mind and body
healthy.
Consider this advice from the
American Heart Association, which
has worked for decades to promote
policies and strategies that make it

the recommended amount of physical
activity (at least 150 minutes of
moderate, 75 minutes of vigorous
or a combination of those activities
per week) is linked to lower risk of
diseases, stronger bones and muscles,
improved mental health and
cognitive function and lower risk
of depression, according to the U.S
Department of Health and Human
Services.
