HEALTH REPORT

June 19, 2002: Walking


By Lawan Davis



This is the VOA Special English Health Report.


Researchers agree that intense 1 physical exercise is not the only way to gain better health. Studies show that
walking several times a week can lower the risk of many diseases 3. They include heart disease 2, stroke 5, diabetes 6,
bone loss, arthritis 7 and depression. Walking also can help you lose weight.



Fast walking is good for the heart. It lowers the blood pressure. It raises the amount
of good cholesterol 8 in the blood. Researchers say walking can reduce the risk of
suffering a heart attack by as much as fifty percent.


Studies have shown that walking for thirty minutes a day can delay and possibly
prevent the development of Type Two Diabetes. It can prevent diabetes among
people who are overweight and at risk for the disease.


Walking strengthens the muscles and builds up the bones to which they are attached.


Studies show that women who walked and took calcium 9 decreased their risk of
developing osteoporosis or thinning of the bones. Walking also helps ease 4 the pain of arthritis in areas where
bones are joined by strengthening the muscles around the bones.


Walking several times a week is a good way to control your weight and even lose body fat. Studies show it also
helps ease depression, feelings of extreme sadness.


Experts say walking is one of the safest ways to exercise. There is a low risk of injuries. So it is good for people
who are starting an exercise program for the first time and for older people.


A walking program is easy to start. You should wear loose clothes and good shoes. Shoes designed for walking
are best.


You should stretch the muscles in your arms, legs, and back before and after you walk. Stretching is an important
part of any exercise program. It helps prevent injury and muscle pain.


How fast should you walk? You should be breathing hard while you are walking. Yet, you should be able to talk.
Let your arms move back and forward at your sides while you walk.


There are no rules to starting a walking program. You may walk short distances. Or you may walk up hills to
strengthen your leg muscles. Health experts say you can gain the most from a walking program if you walk about
five kilometers an hour for thirty minutes a day. You should do this about five times a week.
