5reactions of the body while walking

Most international or national guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. This means 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise, 5 times a week. And research has proven the health benefits of 30 minutes of daily walking. For example, in the Nurses' Health Study, those who walked briskly or did at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every day were less likely to die from heart disease in the next 26 years.

Decades of research have shown that diets that are low in sodium, high in fiber, and high in potassium and magnesium help prevent or reduce high blood pressure. This is one of the many reasons that the American Heart Association recommends the Mediterranean diet and the Dash diet to prevent stroke (which can be caused by high blood pressure). Both of these diets encourage high fiber intake and reduced consumption of processed foods, and the Dash meal plan specifically focuses on reducing sodium intake.
