When the simple act of walking becomes a part of your daily routine, it can completely transform your health. Throughout time, walking has been lauded as an activity that greatly improves both mental clarity and physical health. Famous thinkers like Beethoven, Dickens and Darwin included walking in their daily routines without compromise. Hippocrates said, “Walking is a man’s best medicine,” and modern research agrees.
Walking has both preventative and corrective benefits and improves the health of the person as a whole, influencing physical, cognitive and emotional well being. In addition to promoting general well-being, walking has been shown to reduce the risk of serious health conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and dementia all while improving concentration, energy and mood.
Walking doesn’t require an expensive gym membership, fitness tracker or fancy gear, making it more accessible than many other forms of exercise. Often, walking is an activity that can be easily built into our daily routine, making it convenient to enjoy its numerous benefits. The rewards of a daily constitutional are felt immediately and last a lifetime.
During lockdown I was forced to find means and ways to get my daily walking fix. This is just about the start of the route I started walking and actually found rather enjoyable.
You will see the tarred walkway starting here, if you have the time take a walk, then dont let it be the last time, make a habit of it, you will be pleasantly surprised how satisfying it is.
Then, "the cache", happy hunting.
