What is so easy a 2-3 year old can do it and 10 reason why to do it




Walking — just 30 brisk minutes, five days a week — is so good, according to the AARP and The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
                   Here is the Top 10

1. Helps manage weight.

2. Controls blood pressure by strengthening the heart so it can pump more blood with less effort and with less pressure on the arteries.

3. Boosts good cholesterol, or HDL, and reduces bad cholesterol, or LDL, which can cause plaque buildup along artery walls.

4. Lowers risk of stroke by half, according to a Harvard study of more than 11,000 men.

5. Helps avoid gallstone surgery. Another Harvard study of more than 60,000 women found walking lowered gallstone surgery by 20 percent to 31 percent.

6. Protects against hip fracture and relieves arthritis and back pain by strengthening muscles, bones and joints.

7. Prevents depression. It can lift your mood.

8. Improves sleep.

9. Lowers stress levels and increases energy.

10. Lengthens life span.
