Balanced Body and Happier Life
For over twenty years I have been working with clients to restore function and alignment to their body. I evaluate their posture and watch them walk to determine where their misalignments are. If you are one of my clients then you have a smart motion routine that you do Daily.
You know what else you should be doing Daily? Walking every day has multiple benefits for your health and longevity.
Regular walking has been found to:
- trigger an anti aging process that helps target and repair old DNA
- maintain healthy weight
- prevent or manage various conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes
- strengthen bones and muscles
- improves mood
- improve balance and coordination
Part of what makes walking so beneficial is that when you are walking you can't be sitting. Sitting is the new smoking. Sitting for more than 8 hours a day is associated with a 90% increase in type 2 diabetes, along with risks of heart disease, cancer and obesity.
How much walking do you need to do daily to gain these benefits? The answer is in as little as 20-30 minutes daily. So get up and get outside and get your body moving. When you are outside look up and notice what color the sky is, take deep cleansing breaths and look for different surfaces to walk on- an example would be if you are on cement look for grass or dirt- walk over rocks or fallen tree stumps. Mix it up to work on your your balance and strength. Notice how you feel after your walk.
