Stay Healthy with Walking
Kaiser does its
part to get
people moving
What if there was a way to stay
healthy that doctors say is more
effective than any pill they could
prescribe? One that helps people
lose weight, can prevent or help
manage diseases including diabe­
tes, heart disease and depression,
and is available to most everyone.
Oh, and one more thing: it’s free.
Sound good?
It’s walking. And it delivers on all
of this and more.
Research shows that walking 30
minutes a day, 5 days a week can
prevent the onset or help manage
chronic diseases. Yet, 70 percent of
Americans lead sedentary lifestyles,
which is a big reason why many
experts say America is in the midst
of a health crisis.
So why isn’t everybody walking?
Well, Kaiser Permanente is doing its
part to make that happen with Every­
body Walk! It’s a new public aware­
ness project aimed at starting a na­
tional conversation about the health
benefits of walking.
“Whether you’re 7 or 77, walking
is great medicine,” said Dr. Keith
Bachman of the Kaiser Permanente
Northwest W eight M anagement
Institute. “For seniors especially,
walking is a terrific way to improve
balance, strengthen bones and
muscles, and keep the mind sharp.
I’d like to see a bumper sticker that
says ‘Did you get your 30 minutes
today?’”
Everybody Walk! is an online
educational cam paign centered
a ro u n d
the
w eb site
everybodyw alk.org. It contains
news and resources on walking,
health information, walking maps,
how to find walking groups in your
area, a personal pledge to start walk­
ing, and a place to share stories
about your walking experiences.
