Walking 30 minutes a day helps keep the doctor away

What’s a simple activity to do to stay healthy? You guessed it, walking.

As simple as it sounds, you can benefit greatly from taking a leisurely walk once a day.

If you’re not feeling as upbeat as you would like, take a walk, on your own or with a family member or friend, or start a walking group in your neighborhood. How about changing your indoor book club meeting to a discussion on foot!

Walking is a simple way to achieve and maintain your health, and it also benefits you in the following ways:

• Reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety
• Lowers blood pressure
• Increases cardiovascular endurance
• Maintains lean muscle

Why not get a head start in preparing for the 2012 MS Walk today!
