In this video, we’re going to talk about the benefits of walking.

Talking about walking benefits may seem like a trivial topic, but there are some fascinating benefits that you may not have considered.

I’ve talked about the benefits of walking for your stress levels. Walking reduces your cortisol. In turn, this helps manage your risk of anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

Here are 12 more health benefits of walking…

1. Increases synovial fluid in your joints

2. Increases the body’s natural opioids (natural pain killers)

3. Reduces inflammation

4. Helps you lose weight after the first 30 minutes

5. Decreases the risk of bone density loss with age

6. Strengthens the muscles in your feet

7. Helps stabilize your hips, back, and neck

8. Mobilizes lymphatic system circulation

9. Improves lumbar muscle function (which can help with low back pain)

10. Helps reduce blood pressure

11. Increases oxygen to the brain

12. Boosts cellular waste removal

When you plan your workouts, don’t ignore walking. While it may seem trivial, it can be an effective way to support a healthy body.

Paired with Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting, walking can be a great part of your daily routine.

Recently I started walking 30-40 minutes daily on my treadmill. It helps with my depression/anxiety. And I lost a few pounds. It helps me to feel better. 😀

The only exercise I do is walking, but it always has to be on mother Earth. Not tar or cement. Woodland walks are so great. I had an echo-cardiogram last week and my doctor was pleased to tell me I had a very robust heart and to keep walking! I'm in my sixties so this is very encouraging🥰

[shivadizayin]

I started walking 2-3 hours each day about 3 weeks ago . The benefits to the mind and body are beyond words !

Walking slows down aging (celular waste removal is equivalent to intermittent fasting). I walk 15 km a day for the last 20 years. I'm 58 but people think I'm 40.

[RobCLynch]

Walking got me through three lockdowns and when combined with Keto and 19-5 fasting, played a part in my loss of 103 pounds. I walk for 50 minutes every day.

[Silvereagledude]

I love walking! If I have eaten a large meal or have any type of indigestion, walking seems to help me start to feel better almost immediately

[simonmorrison]

Oh that's good. I'm a Postman and walk around 8 miles per day. I cycle to work too which is a 30 minute round trip and after work I take my daughter to the park. She doesn't let me sit on the bench. I too must bounce on the trampoline, go down the slide and of course push the swing. I also try to get in 10 minutes a day of light mobility stretches and some basic calisthenics. Push ups, pull ups and dips. I feel exhausted just writing that lot out.

[MarianneKunitz]

I'm currently walking 4 to 5 miles per day. Yesterday I walked 5.2 miles. I walk places I find beautiful. Walking is like an anti anxiety medication for me. I doubt any medication could make me feel as good as walking! Im 67 years old and walking and exercise makes me feel 20 years younger. It keeps me happy!

[kopsie]

I've been walking for over 30 years! Hands down, its the best thing ive ever done for myself!

[cherylecooper]

Wow!! This is awesome. I walk 3.5 miles a day; 6 days a week!! Praise the Lord for these amazing benefits. Thank you, Dr. Berg!! 💗💗

[sMM]

Whenever I feel down I just watch dr Eric's video. All the knowledge feels good ❤️

[CookKar]

I also started walking for 30 minutes.. It's only been a month & the result is clearly visible ❤️

[derekseven]

Walking is absolutely the miracle exercise. I walk around my neighborhood and many people should do so. the walker sould actually see where they live, instead of just driving home everyday and going inside. Walk around your environment, you'll be surprised at what you see and who you meet.

[trinchezito]

I feel very depressed mentally and spiritually 🥺 thank you for the reminder. Time to get to hiking

[BrothaNeo]

This is so true! I have been a heavy walker since high school (many years ago lol) and now it is natural for me to walk places. I even make it a daily thing whenever the weather permits to walk at least 30 minutes or longer a day. Now I am able to walk 5 miles straight to the mall lol. 5 miles to the mall, and 5 miles back. That is a total of 10 miles in 1 day! Do that weekly with other healthy habits, and you will be amazed at your new health and YOUTH!

I LOVE looking and feeling young lol!

[jackiek]

Walking is seriously the most underrated exercise out there! I love it!

[cynd]

Seriously, my favorite activity. Nature walks especially! I feel free when I do it. I have autoimmune arthritis and no vehicle so I often feel like a prisoner in my own body and my apartment lol I used to live across the road from a beautiful park right on the Detroit river and that was me and my dog's ultimate spot year around. Now I'm a couple miles away from it, but I do live on a nice, quiet, tree lined road that works for us 😊 ...not quite as nice as being on the water but we love it. In fact we're having a really nice October here in MI so I've gotten to walk him a lot lately. I will again today in fact. ♥️

[krystalopale]

I have Lupus and I was all stiff in the morning and had join pain in my legs and arms. I m walking every day 1 h for 4 months and I feel so much better. It s very rare that I have join pain now. 😀
