And over the years, that number hasn’t been getting better … it’s been getting worse. And obesity can lead to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and much more. But taking a daily walk can help you stay in shape – and if you are obese or overweight, it’s a low-impact way to ease into exercise. If you combine your daily jaunt with sensible dietary substitutions, like consuming fewer simple carbs and replacing soda with water, the walk can be surprisingly beneficial for weight loss. On top of that, walking also can elevate mood and alleviate stress. But that’s not all. Here are five more reasons you should take a walk. 1. walking Aids Digestion: Accord- ing to research that appeared in The New York Times, a post-meal walk can aid digestion and control blood sugar levels. Alternatively, physically moving away from the dinner table eliminates the pos- sibility of going back for seconds, thirds or nineteenths. 2. walking Is Good For Your Bones: You won’t bulk up your quads, hammys or glutes in the same manner you would by performing load-bearing exercises like barbell squats or deadlifts, but walking still builds strength. “Walking strengthens the legs and core, and improves cardiovascular fit- ness,” says Lisa Lynn, PT, FT, a specialist in performance nutrition. “In fact, walking strengthens the bones better than biking, swimming or elliptical training.” Just a friendly tip: Avoid texting while walking. Researchers found that walking texters or readers were found to have shoddy balance. Stumbling into oncoming traffic while texting increases your odds of having all 206 bones in your Eat from a Rainbow By Nancy Ludwig, MS, RD, LD, Siletz Tribal Head Start Nutritionist Children and adults need a wide variety of foods each day for nutrition. One simple way to focus on nutrition that doesn’t really require much training is to focus on a variety of colors in fruits and vegetables. The technical word is “phytochemi- cal.” “Phyto” means plant. Phytochemical refers to a natural substance or chemical that has health benefits. 6 • Siletz News • When planning daily meals and snacks, focus on different colors. Talk about this with your children and have them participate in naming the colors and naming foods with specific colors. Eating a variety of foods increases the chance of getting enough nutrients. Check out the lists below and circle the ones you and your family eat now. Do you eat and serve foods from all the color groups? Next, think about which foods you may want to add. August 2014 Sitting all day under florescent lights, dealing with annoying emails and TPS reports as you watch your lunch hour blow past can be both infuriating and stressful. So go for a walk. Assuming you’re not walking through a methane garden, the new stimuli and fresh air you encounter during a walk can help calm you down and prevent you from Hulking up on your coworkers. “A walk is a great way to clear your head and serve as a form of meditation for today’s anxious society,” Lynn explains. “It’s a fast way to boost mood … and a great way to detox both mentally and physically.” 5. walking Cures Laziness: There’s no excuse not to take a walk. “When you don’t feel up to the hard core, overzealous exercise, walking is a huge victory,” adds Lynn. “Walking keeps our bodies pliable and our joints and muscles loose and in working order. I tell my clients that if you rest you’ll rust, but you won’t if you walk!” Blue, purple or black: Blueberries, cherries, purple grapes, plums, purple cabbage, black beans, blackberries, raisins Green: Peas, spinach, broccoli, zuc- chini, avocado, green bell peppers, aspara- gus, romaine lettuce, honeydew melon, kiwi fruit, artichokes, Brussels sprouts, green apples, green pears, green beans, green cabbage, cucumbers, celery Orange: Apricots, nectarines, peaches, carrots, sweet potatoes, yams, pumpkin, mango, cantaloupe, oranges, papaya, tangerines Red or pink: Tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, guava, pink grapefruit, cherries, blood oranges, cran- berries, rhubarb, radishes, red apples, beets, red onion, red bell pepper, pomegranates Yellow: Yellow bell peppers, squash, bananas, pineapple, yellow pears, corn, yellow apples, grapefruit White or brown: Potatoes, white peaches, cauliflower, jicama, parsnips, turnips, onions, dates, figs, mushrooms, ginger root, brown pears What are your favorite colorful fruits and vegetables? How can you encourage your family to eat more of them? body smashed into bits. Plus, you might also dent the person’s car. 3. walking is Low Impact: Sometimes our bodies need a break from demanding exercises like burpees, rock star hops and jump squats. But taking a time out from high-impact movements doesn’t give you permission to become a loafer. When your goal is to lose weight, aim to walk for 20 minutes per day, sug- gests Lynn. If your diet isn’t as clean as it should be (put those Funyuns down right this second!), boost your walking time up to an hour per day. “We’re supposed to be getting 10,000 steps daily,” Lynn recommends. “So how long you walk really depends on how active you are and how much you sit.” And on the topic of sitting, use some of those steps to stand up and walk around a little at least once an hour. Prolonged time on your posterior isn’t healthy. 4. walking Can Improve Your Mood:
