On 21 November 2024 The Associated Press reported: Medical experts agree that walking is an easy way to improve physical and mental health, bolster fitness, and prevent disease. While it's not the only sort of exercise people should do, it's a great first step toward a healthy life. 'You don't need equipment and you don't need a gym membership,' said Dr. Sarah Eby, a sports medicine physician with Mass General Brigham. 'And the benefits are so vast.' Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of health, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

Walking can help meet the U.S. surgeon general's recommendation that adults get at least 2 1/2 hours of moderate-intensity physical activity every week. This helps lower the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, dementia, depression, and many types of cancer.

Walking also improves blood sugar levels, is good for bone health, and can help you lose weight and sleep better, added Julie Schmied, a nurse practitioner with Norton Healthcare, which runs the free Get Healthy Walking Club.
