In 2014, scientists found that walking was able to reduce risk of brain cancer.
Brain cancer mortality was lower by a striking 42.5 percent for the study group of 153,399 people who engaged regularly in vigorous walking or running exercises compared to those who didn’t or scarcely exercised.
Statistical scientist Paul Williams, at the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory studied a group of 150,000+ people who engaged in running and walking exercise, over the course of 10 years – and published his findings in the scientific journal Medicine & Science In Sports & Exercise. [1]
Walking has been associated with numerous other health benefits also, including cardiovascular health, lymphatic system health, positive mood and more.
Breathing fresh air is of course highly beneficial also – as opposed to indoor air, which can often contain numerous toxins.
Let’s get walking!
Note: For many people, it should not be a problem to just commence the practice of walking and getting into the habit of taking a brisk walk, several times per week. However it is generally advised to consult with your physician before commencing an exercise program to be sure it’s right for you; so if you have pre-existing conditions or are concerned about potential adverse effects of vigorous exercise, please check with your doc / healthcare provider. If you are seriously out of condition, “start small” and gradually build up your pace and distance.
