Why Should You Walk at Least Three Miles Per Day?

Walking is healthy

Making physical exercises is something that we all know it is important. Every doctor will recommend walking every day for any patient no matter their age or their health problems. Most people when they think about physical exercises will start searching for a gym, or for aerobics DVDs. Other people will say that their health does not allow them to jog or do other types of cardio exercises. Benefits of walking I say that there is a chance for everyone and in the following rows of this article we will talk about walking. This is the easiest way to exercise in a moderate way and even if you might not be able to practice cardio, you can certainly walk. What benefits a long walk session could bring? How it will improve your entire lifestyle? These are just two questions to which I will try to reveal the answer. Lose weight One of the main purposes for which people want to exercise more is to lose weight. This is one of the things a three miles walk could do for you. You may not do it every day, but if you do it with regularity the results will show up. Even if your diet might not be too restrictive, when you exercise your body this way you burn calories and you will also tone your muscle mass. The good news is that one of the body parts that will become smaller is the belly. You know that once you gained some fat on your belly, losing it is one of the hardest tasks. We have some tips for a flat belly as well, if you want to have a look. From my personal experience, when I started a diet, my feet got slimmer, my bottom and arms as well, but the belly fat was more stubborn. I hate the idea of going to a gym and I usually give up quite easily. This is one of the reasons why I do not do aerobic exercises in my living room either. The good news is that I love to walk. The results will show up quite fast considering that I am talking about a three miles walk performed almost every day. Your digestion Because I spoke earlier about the weight loss effect, now it might be a good moment to talk about digestion. Usually after a great meal you feel like sitting down and rest. When you are not able to do that and you want to regain your energy level, you drink a great coffee. The coffee effects are well known when it comes about digestion. I will offer you another option. You should forget about the comfy sofa and go outside for a walk. I am not talking about a 20 minutes’ walk. You should try a three miles walk. Your bowels activity along with your metabolism will be improved and you will notice this change. Decreases the chances of getting a chronic disease Not only your bowels and metabolism will be changed in a better direction. Your body will be able to release the proper amount of insulin. This means that any doctor who must treat a person who has diabetes will recommend physical activities and a long three miles walk turned into a regular routine will get you out of trouble. Diabetes is not the only chronic disease that can be held under control through walking. High blood pressure is another thing that will be controlled much more easily than before. This means that a heart attack or a stroke can be avoided just by creating this healthy routine in your life. Many people, due to many external factors develop another disease, namely varicose veins. This is a very serious illness and in the last period I have personally seen many young people affected by varicose in the worst way possible. Regular walking routine is a great solution to delay this illness to emerge. Some people get this disease genetically, and by practicing physical exercises to improve the blood circulation will certainly delay the varicose veins appearance. Say good bye to joint pains Some people might believe that taking long walks might affect their legs. Especially if you usually suffer of joint pains, you might have this fear. You should put your fears away, because a three miles walk turned into a daily routine will only improve your life from this point of view. The increased blood flow mentioned in the previous rows is one thing that will help your joints to regain their flexibility and strength. What about your immunity? No matter the season and the outdoor temperature should not stop you from performing your routine. Some people might say that if it is cold outside you should stay indoors in order to not get sick. I don’t agree with this theory. Walking everyday will only boost your immunity level. The inflammatory diseases will no longer be such a close threat. Also, people with lungs illnesses will prolong their lives by going outside and walk. You will force your lungs to function until they will no longer feel forced to do it. Better mood Not only will your physical health be improved. Also you mind will feel the benefits of long walks. We do all kinds of things to improve our mood somehow. Some habits might not be too healthy. A three mile walk will certainly be healthy and peasant in the same time. You know when you are angry after a fight that the best solution to not enhance that feeling is to take a walk? This is completely true. A long walk will clear your mind, will decrease the anger feeling and will relax your muscles. Your brain will benefit of these long walks for sure. Sharing these walks with someone will improve your mood even more. Even if you are a bit introverted, you will feel like socializing with people around you more and better. Get more inspiration When you must create something, let’s say that you are an artist or a writer, sometimes you could suffer of lack of inspiration. This is another thing that could be easily repaired just by going outside and take a long walk. Getting in contact with nature, breathing the fresh air and allowing the sun to touch your body with its rays, will clear your mind. You have all the chances to become more creative and inspired to finish your work. Rest better One of the greatest achievements that everyone will enjoy is the sleep quality which will be improved. I am sure that at least once in your life you woke up as if you never went to bed. An evening long walk could become your best friend. You could be able to reduce the stress level, clear your head and get a dreamless rest session. This way, you will be able to perform better the next day. You don’t need a certain number of rest hours. Some people might feel totally energized after just three hours of sleep. This happens because they have a healthy way of sleeping. In order to obtain that you should take a long walk before going to sleep. Conclusions Considering all these things, the main conclusion is that walking a three miles distance with regularity will prolong your life. Besides that, you will not just live longer but the quality of your life will become better than it is at this moment. If you do not know how to start I have an idea for you. You should get a dog in case you do not already have one. Besides getting the best friend possible, you will also have a reason to go outside and share your three miles walks with your special friend. Read the full article

Двадесет четврта прича за понети

Двадесет четврта прича за понети

Волим да ходам. Волим да ходам по свом граду, волим да га видим изнова и изнова, и сваки пут откријем нешто ново. Док ходам мисли не лете, нога иде ногу пред ногу, и очи хватају шта могу, журно пратећи ноге. Волим да ухватим детаље у пролазу, и упитам се да ли су ту били и јуче, да ли су ту били и пре. Волим што ми ходање проструји кроз тело, осетим покрете ногу, осетим покрете вена и жила и…

Once I abandoned making the effort to stand against forces stronger than myself, the wind embraced me and I fell asleep cradled in the arms of this new friend.

My cousin, on her time hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.

Lake Morena to Boulder Oaks, 6 Miles

I slept in today, stubbornly staying curled up in my sleeping bag until the sun was glaring unrelentingly into my tent and making the air uncomfortably hot. Looking at the clock, I see it's only 7:30 AM and I am thrilled to be up so early. I have never been a morning person and ideally would like to sleep until mid-morning every day. I congratulate myself and then realize that getting up at 7:30 AM makes me the lazy camper. Everybody is already up, eating breakfast, drinking coffee or setting out for the trail.

Today is an easy day. I only have to hike six miles before noon. I pack up and head out. There is a climb out of the campsite and I decide to get it out of the way and then settle down for breakfast after a few miles. It's warm already and the sun slants in under my hat as I move up the hill. My pack doesn't feel as heavy today and the weight settles easily on my back.

In a dry creek bed a couple miles in I stop and make coffee and cheddar grits. It's cool and shady and I sit under an oak enjoying the quiet of the spot, the wind blowing through the woods, the sound of insects and birds. It's lovely to eat and rest.

The next four miles go easily, moving North through the valley toward Interstate 8. I reach Boulder Oaks and lay in the shade on a picnic table, drinking water and waiting for my Mom and my Aunt. They are picking me up for the evening and tomorrow we will go to the annual PCT Kick-Off.The plan is to get pedicures, which seems an absurd thing to do before setting off to hike. Then again, walking from Mexico to Canada also seems absurd.

At least I'll have pretty feet to start. They're bound to be hooves by the end.
