Today the bunners (also known as Tatum, my 7 month old beautiful and lively daughter) and I took a 2 mile walk outside. This has been the warmest day of the year thus far, and with Spring ready to show it's face in two days, it was the perfect time to get a jump on our outdoor activity! The husband and I had also recently purchased a new all terrain stroller for just this occasion. It was a great walk. Here are some reasons for you to get off your duff this season and take a walk -
As a health care professional, I would not be doing my job if I didn't remind everybody of the benefits of a nice, brisk, daily walk outdoors. Medicine.net has a nice article about the benefits of walking, including a decrease in cases of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, symptoms of depression and promotes cognitive brain function as well as providing you with some vitamin D (helps absorption of calcium and phosphorus, also helps your immune system!).
It's also just plain nice to walk outside. I don't know if you're inner city, suburbs or country, but the benefits are all the same!
