Walking regularly will make you feel good, and is good for your health. For adults, 30 minutes of walking five days a week dramatically cuts the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, obesity and some cancers. It also reduces cholesterol, lowers high blood pressure and is good for your sense of well-being.
Active travel means walking and cycling for those everyday journeys. Building regular physical activity into your normal daily routine will help you lead a longer, healthier life. Even a hectic life can be a healthy one.
