Take a Walk!

“There is no exercise that can take the place of walking. By it the circulation of the blood is greatly improved…. Walking in all cases where it is possible, is the best remedy for diseased bodies,because in this exercise all of the organs of the body are brought into use.” (Healthful Living p. 29 -130) In USA Today, November 3, 2008 an article entitled, “Brisk walking brings better health, less body fat,” confirms the benefits of walking. After one year of increasing activity to 60 minutes per day, 6 days a week the article states; “Women who increased their activity level by an additional 3,500 steps a day lost 5 pounds during the year. Men who added that many steps lost 8½ pounds in a year. The exercisers who did the most — 60 minutes, six days a week — decreased their belly fat by 10% to 20%. Those same exercisers trimmed 10% to 15% of their overall body fat without losing muscle mass.” These results were obtained with absolutely no changes in diet or other lifestyle habits. Let’s follow the Biblical example of Genesis 5:24, “And Enoch walked with God” for better health!
