Simple step to better health

The Island

|

May 13, 2025

In a world increasingly driven by technology and convenience, the importance of physical activity is more significant than ever.

Simple step to better health

While many chase complex fitness routines and expensive gym memberships, one of the most effective forms of exercise remains the simplest: walking.

Walking, often overlooked, is a low-impact, accessible activity that delivers immense physical and mental benefits. Whether you are strolling through a park, walking to work, or taking a brisk evening walk, each step contributes to your overall well-being.

Walking is particularly beneficial for cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that a brisk 30-minute walk each day can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. When you walk, your heart rate increases, promoting better blood circulation and strengthening the heart muscle. Over time, regular walking helps to lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL (good cholesterol), reducing the chances of heart-related complications.
