What diseases can walking protect against: doctor's advice
Movement is life, and also the prevention of serious diseases.
This is a real medical fact, not a gimmick. Most diseases that develop over the years can be avoided by simply walking more often.
Walking helps to lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels, which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke, said doctor Alexander Myasnikov on the air of the program “About the Most Important Thing”.
But you need to understand the doctor's words correctly. Walking is not a cure, but a preventive measure.
If you pay the necessary attention to walking, you can at least reduce the risk of developing obesity, which in itself is dangerous and leads to the development of other diseases.
Walking also reduces the risk of exacerbation of chronic diseases.
Walking helps combat the effects of stress and significantly improves the quality of sleep.
But definitely the most important benefit of walking is the healthy load on the cardiovascular system.
Daily walks improve blood circulation and train the heart.
If it is low-impact walking, then this can support the health of bones and joints.
However, before getting carried away with this type of prevention, the doctor recommends consulting with a specialist who will help determine the level and intensity of the load.
