If you are interested in staying young and wish to have healthy life, I suppose you care for exercise as well besides foods life, life style, and keeping healthy mind.
People get old from their feet and legs, and our daily walking influences our health.
How long do you walk everyday ?
It’s said it’s good to walk 10,000 steps a day, and people who care for their health are checking how many steps they walk a day.
Walking an hour a day , or at least 30 to 40 minutes daily can keep your legs and feet stronger, and body healthier.
According to one of the studies which was conducted In Northern California, approximately 20% of subjects reported that they had had no vigorous activity for the past twenty years.
In that study, 13% of the colon cancer cases could be attributed to physical inactivity.
There is another study which says too much exercise or sudden exercise especially for people who are over 40 years old, can hurt your body.
Even people who are under 40 years old can hurt their body if one start hard exercise ( such as jogging, swimming etc.. ) from the beginning.
Slowly starting is better.
If you feel tired and hard to continue, it’s a sign to stop. And take a break until your feeling is better.
The fact is there are many people who suddenly passed away during their exercise.
One of my aunts ( over 70 years old ) also had a problem while she was swimming doing butterfly, the most tough swimming. Even though she has been swimming a long time, she had a stroke .
