The unexpected health benefits of walking

Hoài Lan (dịch Verywell Health) |

Walking every day brings many health benefits such as protecting the heart and improving mental health.

Walking helps protect cardiovascular health

When you walk, your heart works more efficiently and healthily. Therefore, blood can circulate more regularly, thereby reducing blood pressure and keeping your heart rate stable. Walking is also one of the simple ways to get your body moving, instead of sitting still all day, which is necessary to prevent heart disease.

In addition, regular walking helps reduce risks such as being overweight, high blood sugar, bad cholesterol and prolonged stress - the main factors that cause heart disease. Therefore, just walking every day, you can protect your heart and improve your overall health.

Improve your mental health by walking regularly

Walking is not only good for your body, but it is also a natural mood enhancer. When you walk, your body produces endorphins, which help you feel more cheerful and happy.

Many studies have shown that people who walk or exercise regularly can reduce the number of days they feel stressed, anxious or depressed each month by up to 40%. Therefore, walking is one of the effective ways to balance emotions and help you live a happier, healthier life every day.
