Walking Helps Brain Function
The Readers Digest, June 2009, has an article that emphasis what Live Healthy by Walking is all about. They report that in a study of middle age & elderly adults with mild memory problems, those who walked several times each week scored significantly higher in memory tests in just 6 months. Walking stimulates the brain to become more active. This survey proves once again that people who work behind a desk all day; people who sit in front of their computer all day with the home-office business; and the retirees who sit to rest more than they should; need to get up, move their bodies and take a walk outdoors. The article also stated that the sunshine vitamin (D3) keeps our brain sharp as well.
Yes, indeed! Walking has so many benefits. We lose weight, get toned and fit, and now–we get smarter, too!
