Introduction: Is walking good for you?
Walking is often seen as a mundane activity, but it has incredible health benefits that are often overlooked. Apart from its weight-loss benefits, walking has a plethora of other advantages that are not often talked about. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of walking that you may have never heard before.
Walking benefits
1. It significantly reduces cortisol (stress)
Cortisol is a hormone that is responsible for stress in the body. Walking significantly reduces cortisol levels, which means that walking can help you relax and feel less stressed.
2. It increases creative thinking and problem-solving
If you’re feeling stuck in a problem, try a walk. Walking can increase creativity and problem-solving abilities by improving the flow of oxygen to the brain.
3. It affects your overall mood (decreases depression and anxiety)
Walking can also help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. Walking releases endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers linked to an increased sense of pleasure.
4. It enhances mitochondria
Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the body. Regular walking can lead to mitochondria being produced at a quicker rate, leading to increased energy levels.
5. It increases microbial diversity
Intestinal bacterial diversity is essential to maintaining good health. Walking increases microbial diversity, which means that good bacteria can penetrate the body and alleviate gut-based issues.
6. It improves endogenous antioxidants
Antioxidants help protect the body from harmful free-radicals. Walking can improve the body’s ability to create its own antioxidants, thus giving the body a way to protect itself from more harm.
7. It increases T-killer cells
Walking has been proven to increase T-killer cells, which are responsible for enhancing the immune system and protecting the body against harmful pathogens.
8. It supports insulin sensitivity
Insulin sensitivity is essential for maintaining good health and avoiding diseases such as diabetes. Regular walks have been shown to increase insulin sensitivity significantly.
9. It transfers oxygen into the tissues
Walking can improve the body’s ability to transport oxygen to its tissues, leading to healthier skin, organs, and an overall healthier body.
10. It increases bone density
Walking can help maintain or increase bone density, which is essential for keeping the body strong and less susceptible to bone-related ailments.
11. It reduces inflammation
Walking can also reduce inflammation, which has been linked to multiple health problems, including heart disease and arthritis.
12. It enhances your vision
Walking can improve your vision by increasing blood flow to the eyes and reducing the risk of macular degeneration.
