Did you ever try taking a walk after a long stressful day at work? If your answer is no, then you should put this on the top of your to-do list because it will help a lot with your stress.
Walking have a lot of positive changes in the brain, reducing the risk of getting brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia along with helping with your level of endorphins.

3. Prevention of heart diseases
Running is known to prevent heart diseases but nobody knows that walking has almost the same effect, so if you get tired by running you can try to take a long walk every day and this activity will have the same effect on your heart as running, it will prevent high blood pressure and cholesterol levels along with improving your blood circulation.
4. Increased lung volume
When you are taking a walk, you should make sure to take long and deep breaths, that way you will inhale oxygen and release toxins that can affect your lungs badly. Walking trains your lungs by increasing the oxygen flow in your bloodstream.
5. Beneficial effects on the pancreas
Usually, when someone knows that they are at risk of getting diabetes the first thing they do is start running every day or three times a week. But what nobody knows is that when it comes to preventing diabetes walking is much more effective than running according to a comparison that was made between 6 walkers and 6 runners and the result was that the walkers’ glucose tolerance was higher than that of the runners.
6. Improved digestion
Just like running improves your digestion, walking does that as well. When you take a walk every day you will regulate your bowel movements and therefore you won’t experience constipation and you will have a very low chance of getting colon cancer.
7. Toned muscles
When you think about toned muscles and how to get them, your mind goes instantly to working out and weightlifting either at home or the gym, but nobody ever thinks about just walking, and if they do they are labeled as lazy and they just prefer to walk other than do some real working out.
Well actually, walking has been proven that it can help to tone the muscles just like working out and because it is not that intense, you can do it every day and you will never have to suffer from sore muscles.
8. Sturdier bones and joints
If you suffer from stiffness and pain in your joints and you are looking for a natural remedy for it, then there is nothing more effective than walking. A study has shown that walking 30minutes a day every day makes your joints and bones sturdier and prevents bone mass loss.
9. Back pain relief
If you are still in your twenties and you are already suffering from back pain then the reason must be because you are sitting for too long on your desk and you are not doing enough movements during the day nor working out. The best choice would be to start working out at home or the gym but if you do not have time for that you can start taking a 30 minutes’ walk a day every day and you will notice a lot of improvement in your back pain, and it will be just a matter of time before you get rid of it completely.
10. A calmer mind
Nowadays people do not have enough time to rest because of work, responsibilities, and family. They are always tensed and have something on their mind. If you are one of those people and there is a big chance you are, walking is going to be very helpful for you because then you will have the ability to relax and think clearly and remove all the bad thoughts, and once the walk is over you will come back home more relaxed and with a calm mind.
