Physical Health

  • Improved Cardiovascular Health: Walking regularly strengthens the heart and improves circulation. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), physical inactivity is a leading risk factor for heart disease, which claims 17.9 million lives each year worldwide. Walking for 30 minutes daily can reduce this risk by up to 35%.

  • Weight Management: Walking helps burn calories and manage weight. Globally, more than 1.9 billion adults are overweight, and walking is one of the simplest ways to stay active and maintain a healthy weight.

  • Increased Muscle Strength: Walking builds muscle strength, particularly in the legs and core, helping to combat the global rise in muscle weakness and inactivity, especially in older adults.

  • Boosted Endurance: Walking daily can increase stamina and endurance. Studies show that individuals who walk regularly have 20-30% higher energy levels compared to those who are inactive.

  • Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases: Walking reduces the risk of diseases such as diabetes, stroke, and certain cancers. According to WHO, regular physical activity can lower the risk of diabetes by 40% and the risk of stroke by 27%.
