One of the more overlooked benefits of walking is its affordability. Even for people who own a vehicle, walking daily can reduce transport costs.
Quick daily trips using a vehicle make up 40% of carbon emissions. Replacing these trips with walking can help curb environmental damage.
It doesn’t take a lot of walking to get the health benefits. Just 30 minutes of walking for 5 days can lower the risk of age-related diseases and other health related issues.
Walking is linked with higher social interaction. It leads to higher chances of engaging in conversation with others and making social connections.
The health benefits gained from walking aren’t just physical. Walking regularly has been shown to have similarly positive effects on people’s mental well-being.
