Walking, Walking, Walking

Walking, Walking, Walking

Walking, Walking, Walking.  No sirrrrs, I'm NOT aiming to be a self-proclaimed HEALTH guru BUT instead, just sharing whatever tidbits I do pick up along the way.  Oh yes, as my gift to myself [at least for today], I DON'T need to exert efforts for our thread today because surely, everyone is onboard when we hear over and over again Walking, Walking, Walking📗📙📘

Before I get accused of 'doublespeak', I need to be transparent that even as we speak, I CAN'T claim that I do WALK, WALK, WALK regularly BUT again, NO excuses.  Mea culpa.  I DIDN'T have that burning commitment to my HEALTH through the years. I WON'T pass the buck and blame it on the culture I grew up BUT that's a given as I grew up in a culture of FUN and FOODS GALORE.  Where communities will celebrate even with the slightest reason to celebrate.  FOODS and DRINKS all mattered, in the spirit of 'COOPERATION'💵💴💷

And here's a soft touch to WALKING.  While WALKING for 30 minutes daily is a great way to improve your HEALTH, IF you CAN'T manage 30 minutes daily [hey dude, we NEVER run out of reasons WHY we CAN'T spare 30 minutes, right?], even SHORT WALKS more frequently will be beneficial to your HEALTH.  As the adage goes, SOMETHING is better than NOTHING📌📌📌

If you 'Google search', there are zillion search results from 5 to 10 to 20 to 100s of WALKING benefits.  Regardless of those numbers, allow me to share some of the benefits I got from my 'Google search':

• REDUCED risk of heart disease & stroke
• INCREASED heart & lung fitness
• IMPROVED conditions in hypertension
• IMPROVED relief in diabetes
• IMPROVED high cholesterol situation

Let's be brutally frank here [as I've been GUILTY of this a zillion times].  IF we DON'T have our own 'BUY-IN' into something, we will have a thousand reasons WHY we CAN'T pursue something.  Problem is, in life, we are constantly in motion.  Even if there was a 2-week holiday breaks for students and government employees, there was NO single day WHEN we found ourselves idle and left twiddling our fingers while engaged in social media way beyond our eye soreness and fatigue.  As 2024 ushers in, please consider WALKING, WALKING, WALKING✅✅✅
