Have you ever noticed the amazing restorative power of taking a walk? Two thousand years ago, Hippocrates noted the amazing benefits of walking. A daily stroll can help lower your blood pressure, may decrease your risk of getting cancer, decrease your risk of dementia and memory loss, improve your mood, and generally contributes to a healthy lifestyle. Even when the weather is terrible, it is good to get outside and move around, even only ten minutes a day makes a difference.
