Walk Your Way to Wellness

As the Holidays approach remember to take care of your self. BREATHE WALK GET OUTSIDE.

Walking is always available and a free form of exercise. Short (10 minute) bouts of brisk walking, three times a day add up to the 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise you need each day. According to the American Heart Association http://www.americanheart.org/ of the benefits of daily physical activity are:

• Improves blood flow throughout the body


• Helps manage stress and releases tension


• Improves your ability to fall asleep quickly and sleep well


• Counters anxiety and depression and increases enthusiasm and optimism


• Boosts energy level and thereby helps normalize weight


• Increases muscle strength and the ability to do other physical activities


• Provides a way to share an activity with family and friends

So this Thanks Giving spend some time walking outside with friends.

A great stress reducer!

Be thankful for the love and light in your life.
Be Well
