"A man's health can be judged by which he takes two at a time - pills or stairs." Joan WelshThe great thing about health is....today you can make a different choice, a healthier choice, and be healthier today than you were yesterday.
Take a 20-30 minute walk and you will experience:
- Positive changes to your blood sugar levels.
- Positive changes to your triglyceride levels.
- Decreases in muscle tension.
- Decreases in stress hormone levels.
- Decreased blood pressure.
- Increased memory function.
- Increased ability to problem solve.
- Increased bone cell growth (to fight osteoporosis) -- and speaking of... 1 in 4 men over the age of 70 meet the clinical diagnosis for osteoporosis! Sorry, guys, it's not just a women's disease.
This list is NOT comprehensive. I could go on and on (but I won't). These are immediate benefits! Take a walk at lunch -- you will be healthier by the time you get back to your desk.
