Walking can offer many health benefits to people of all ages and improve their fitness levels. It may also help prevent certain diseases and even prolong your life. In fact, this sport is easy to fit into your daily schedule and all you need to start walking is a sturdy pair of walking shoes. Walking can help you burn calories, which can help you lose weight. Your actual calorie burn will depend on several factors, including: walking speed, distance covered, and weight. Walking increases oxygen flow through the body and can help your mental health. Many studies have shown that walking can help reduce anxiety, depression, and a negative mood. It can also boost self-esteem and reduce symptoms of social withdrawal.

SUMMARY MAKING (2)

Stress is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems. It can increase the pulse rate and cause high blood pressure. It can also affect the respiratory system and lead to asthma. Moreover, it can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can equally cause stomach aches and digestive problems. Besides, it can lead to some serious mental illnesses like depression and extreme feeling of sadness. Furthermore, it can make
people angry, moody, or nervous. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses resulting from stress.
