Morning walk – cool, calm and healthy
June 4, 2008
Walking is a healthy activity that can make us feel better and improve how we feel. In recent months, scientists have confirmed what many of us knew already––that these effects take place right away—often within 30 minutes. With that kind of discovery, it’s time to get up and go for a walk! What can walk do for you and your family? Walking is the most underrated exercise and yet one of the most effective; the best starting point if you haven’t moved properly in ages.
One of the easiest and safest ways to get and keep fit is a brisk walk of 20 minutes three times weekly. There are many ways you could possibly benefit from an exercise as simple as morning walk.
Up front, in today’s irritatingly fast world, you deprive your self of the much-needed oxygen, which is anyways getting depleted with time. The earliest hours in the morning would probably give you this and the quality time to spend with the greenery around you, and observe around you things that only perhaps writers and poets around you seem to notice. Studies have shown that regular brisk walking can lower cholesterol levels, stimulate circulation, strengthen the heart, help control weight, reduce high blood pressure, stress and depression, prevent osteoporosis, and develop strength, stamina and endurance.
New research also suggests morning walk is the best exercise for the brain, as it doesn’t call on blood sugar for energy like aerobic exercise. As the brain is nourished by blood sugar, it much prefers a brisk walk to an aerobics class. According to ancient science Ayurveda, morning walk is considered to be the best form of exercise. It increases your metabolism and blood circulation and also lowers your blood sugar level.
Morning time is also considered as ‘brahmmahurat’ or the most auspicious time of the day. This is because in the mornings, our mind is free from any sort of stress. A walk at this time, while listening to soft chirruping of birds, can soothe your nerves and de-stress you. As with any exercise, whether you are young or older, you must pay attention to any signals that your body is giving you. Make sure to drink plenty of water before and during your walk to keep properly hydrated.
If you begin to feel any sort of pain in your legs, torso, and especially the chest, or any shortness of breath, stop the activity immediately and wait for your body to return to normal. If the pain continues or intensifies, contact some help and go see a doctor (this is where walking in groups can come in handy, as there will be someone with you who can go for help or take you to it).
