Dr. Anup Khatri - Senior Advisor at Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai (India) - said this is one of the most effective ways to start the new day.
According to Mr. Khatri, light walking is not only suitable for people who do not want to exercise much but also helps improve blood circulation, increase energy and reduce pressure on joints.
"As long as you step out of the house, to the park, the terrace or the living room, it is possible to start. The exposure to the morning light also helps the body produce enough vitamin D, because this is an important factor that is beneficial for bones and immune systems," Dr. Khatri said.
In addition, walking on an empty stomach also has the ability to regulate blood sugar and improve mood by reducing stress.
This is an activity suitable for all ages, especially good for the elderly or people with low exercise.
