Benefits of morning walk

Walking is an enjoyable form of exercise. Almost everyone can do it and it has many benefits:

-Enhance immune function

Walking every day can reduce your risk of catching a cold or the flu. Studies have shown that people who walk at least 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week, take 43% fewer sick days. And if you do get sick, you may have milder symptoms.

-Better circulation

When you walk, your heart rate increases and this lowers your blood pressure. It improves your cardiovascular health over time and helps with overall circulation. You can also reduce your risk of stroke by walking 3km a day.

-Joint health support

Your joints contract together as you walk. This movement increases joint fluid production, allowing more oxygen and nutrients to enter your joints, helping them function more smoothly.

-Muscle strengthening

Morning walks can help you tone your leg and abdominal muscles. Stronger muscles give you a greater range of motion and improve your overall strength and health. The stress of movement also shifts from your joints to your muscles.

-Clear your mind

Walking has been shown to help your brain function better. People of all ages have better cognitive function when walking. Some people like to take walks when they are thinking about something or trying to solve a problem.

-Boost your mental health

Studies have shown that regular walking can improve your mood. They also found that walking can reduce symptoms of mild to moderate depression.

-Reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease

A study of men aged 71 to 93 found that walking more than 0.5km per day had benefits such as fewer cases of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Short but regular walks can have a big impact on your mind and body.

The effects of walking in the morning on mental health

Getting up and walking in the morning is great for your mental health. Most studies show that walking for 20 to 30 minutes or more gives the best results. It’s also important to be consistent with walking 5 or more days a week.

Morning walks improve your mood for the rest of the day. They can also help your creativity. Studies have shown that getting up and moving around makes you more creative than sitting. Walking also helps you sleep better, which can lead to a better mood the next morning.

When you walk and engage in other forms of exercise, your body releases hormones that make you feel better mentally and emotionally. These include:

- Dopamine, reduces stress and depression.

- Serotonin, helps you sleep well and improves mood.

- Testosterone in men, helps improve strength and muscle mass.

- Estrogen in women can reduce menopausal symptoms.

Should I walk before or after breakfast?

According toHealthline, if you walk in the morning, you may wonder whether it matters whether you walk before or after breakfast and whether it will help your weight loss goals?

There are mixed studies on whether skipping breakfast increases your metabolism or helps you lose weight faster. Some studies show that exercising in a fasted state (before breakfast) helps your body burn more fat. But more research is needed.

In the meantime, it depends on your body. If you feel fine walking before eating or if your stomach feels better without eating, that’s fine. Or, you may find that you feel better if you eat a small snack like a banana or a fruit smoothie before you start walking.

Either way, after your workout, make sure you eat a healthy breakfast and drink plenty of water.
