Why it pays to go for a walk

Walking is worthwhile, because regular walks ...

... reduce stress

If you grab your hair again at work, go for a walk! A brisk midday round has been proven to have a positive effect on our sense of stress. It makes us calmer and allows us to work more controlled.

... protect our heart

According to a recent study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, going for a walk reduces the risk of heart disease and significantly lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels - and may even be more effective than running.

... make us more focused

Whether at home or at work: Our brain is constantly pelting information from various sources - and at the same time. A walk helps clear your head. Green areas have a calming effect - scientifically proven - and give our brains a break from the flood of information.

... promote creativity

A walk gives our brain the opportunity to recover. This rejuvenates the mind and makes room for creativity.

... drive away depressive thoughts

It is well known that exercise can alleviate the symptoms of depression. Walking with a good friend or a good friend can have a positive effect on well-being.

... strengthen the body

Regular walks at a moderate pace not only lift your mood, they also strengthen your muscles and help you lose weight.

... solid relations

Because technology determines our everyday lives, personal relationships often fall by the wayside. Couples who take the time to go for a walk deliberately avoid the effects of the media and can concentrate on a conversation. Of course, this also applies to parents and children or friends.

... ensure a beautiful complexion

A quick walk brings color to your face. The skin is cleansed of toxins, supplied with oxygen and supplied with blood. In addition, exercise stimulates the production of endogenous fats, which make the skin soft and supple.

... improve sleep

Do you often wallow in bed at night? Instead of swallowing sleeping pills, you should go for a walk early in the morning. This provides better sleep, as the natural light sets the internal clock back to zero and stimulates the brain during the day so much that it willingly shuts down in the evening.
