5reasonsyoushouldwalkmore
By Zack Zeigler
More than one-third of the adults in
the United States are obese, according to
the eggheads at Center for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention (CDC). 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.

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.

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!”

cherries, purple grapes, plums, purple

chini, avocado, green bell peppers, aspara-

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.
