For good health, it is necessary to walk at least 30 minutes fast daily. It can be divided into 15–15 minutes parts twice a day. If the goal is to lose weight, it is beneficial to walk faster for 45-60 minutes. Along with walking, healthy and nutritious food is also necessary, because walking is not enough to achieve fitness goals. In addition, drinking enough water, eating foods rich in fruits and vegetables and abstaining with processed food increases the benefits of walking.
Do not make these mistakes while walking
Dr. Subhash Giri of RML Hospital’s Medicine Department said that people often adopt some habits while walking, which can harm their health rather than providing benefits. First of all, wearing wrong shoes can cause leg pain and injury. Walking very slow or stopping repeatedly hinders the burn to burn calories. While looking at mobile phones while walking, the body’s posture deteriorates and the risk of injury increases.
Prolonged on an empty stomach can cause fatigue and weakness, while having heavy food immediately after walking can affect digestion. In addition, not wearing clothes according to the weather and ignoring warm-up and cool-down are common mistakes. In such circumstances, avoiding them can be beneficial to walk.
Keep these things in mind
Always wear shoes with comfortable and right fittings.
Before a walk, have a light breakfast and then eat nutritious food later.
Maintain the right posture and stable speed.
Warm-up and then cool-down before walking.
Stay hydrated and wear clothes according to the season.
