The health benefits of walking regularly are well-documented. A regular walk, at any speed, will help manage weight, reduce the risk of Type 2 Diabetes, reduce the risk of certain cancers such colon, breast and lung cancer, improve flexibility and strength of joints, muscles and bones, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis - all while boosting the immune system and improving your mental health.
