It also lowers the risk of blood clots, since the بچھڑا acts as a venous pump, contracting and pumping blood from the feet and legs back to the heart, reducing the load on the heart. Walking is good for آپ in other ways as well.
1. Walking improves circulation. It also wards off دل disease, brings up the دل rate, lowers blood pressure and strengthens the heart. Studies at the یونیورسٹی of Colorado at Boulder and the یونیورسٹی of Tennessee found that post-menopausal women who walked just one to two miles a دن lowered blood pressure سے طرف کی nearly 11 points in 24 weeks. Women who walked 30 منٹ a دن reduced their risk of stroke سے طرف کی 20 percent – سے طرف کی 40 percent when they stepped up the pace, according to researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.
2. Walking shores up your bones. It can stop the loss of bone mass for those with osteoporosis, according to Michael A. Schwartz, MD, of Plancher Orthopedics & Sports Medicine in New York. In fact, a Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, study of post-menopausal women found that 30 منٹ of walking each دن reduced their risk of hip fractures سے طرف کی 40 percent.
3. Walking leads to a longer life. حالیہ research out of the یونیورسٹی of Michigan Medical School and the Veterans Administration Ann Arbor Healthcare System says those who exercise regularly in their fifties and sixties are 35 percent less likely to die over the اگلے eight years than their non-walking counterparts. That number shoots up to 45 percent less likely for those who have underlying health conditions.
4. Walking lightens mood. A California State University, Long Beach, study showed that the مزید steps people took during the day, the better their moods were. Why? Walking releases natural painkilling endorphins to the body – one of the emotional benefits of exercise.
5. Walking can lead to weight loss. A brisk 30-minute walk burns 200 calories. Over time, calories burned can lead to pounds dropped.

7. Walking improves sleep. A study from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle found that women, ages 50 to 75, who took one-hour morning walks, were مزید likely to relieve insomnia than women who didn’t walk.
8. Walking supports your joints. The majority of joint cartilage has no direct blood supply. It gets its nutrition from synovial یا joint fluid that circulates as we move. Impact that comes from movement یا compression, such as walking, “squishes” the cartilage, bringing oxygen and nutrients into the area. If آپ don’t walk, joints are deprived of life-giving fluid, which can speed deterioration.
9. Walking improves your breath. When walking, your breathing rate increases, causing oxygen to travel faster through bloodstream, helping to eliminate waste products and improve your energy level and the ability to heal.
10. Walking slows mental decline. A study of 6,000 women, ages 65 and older, performed سے طرف کی researchers at the یونیورسٹی of California, San Francisco, found that age-related memory decline was lower in those who walked more. The women walking 2.5 miles per دن had a 17-percent decline in memory, as opposed to a 25-percent decline in women who walked less than a half-mile per week.
11. Walking lowers Alzheimer’s risk. A study from the یونیورسٹی of Virginia Health System in Charlottesville found that men between the ages of 71 and 93 who walked مزید than a quarter of a mile per دن had half the incidence of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, compared to those who walked less.
12. Walking helps آپ do more, longer. Aerobic walking and resistance exercise programs may reduce the incidence of disability in the activities of daily living of people who are older than 65 and have symptomatic OA, shows a study published in the Journal of Clinical Outcomes Management.
