I have been away for awhile, but I am returning with a piece of news that I found really interesting. I am not going to write much .. only to say if the findings of this study are proven in others as well, people like me (who like to walk but not run) will be delighted.
Brisk walking is as healthy to the heart and diabetic prevention as running.
let me quote some of the findings reported in the news and then let you enjoy reading it for yourselves in the link attached.
"
Running reduced the risk of high blood pressure 4.2 percent and walking reduced the risk 7.2 percent.
Running reduced the risk for high cholesterol 4.3 percent and walking lowered the risk 7 percent.
Running lowered the risk for diabetes 12.1 percent and walking reduced the risk 12.3 percent.
Running decreased the risk of heart disease 4.5 percent and walking reduced the risk 9.3 percent.

Brisk Walking May Equal Running for Heart Health Distance rather than speed reaps the benefits, researchers say
