 Reduces Stress
Keeping stress at bay can be difficult,
especially when everything seems urgent
and there isn’t enough time. Far too often,
people are taking on more responsibili-
ties, leading to mental overload. Taking a
walk through the natural landscape, such
as meadowlands and woodlands, has a
therapeutic effect that helps rejuvenate
the mind.

Increases
Happiness
The outdoors has sunlight, which has more
to offer than just a tan. Spending time in
the sun can result in higher vitamin D levels
in the body, which helps boost health and
mood. Plus, there’s science to support the
need for outdoor walking as a means of
increasing happiness.

Results in A
Healthy Heart
In addition to maintaining a healthy
diet, outdoor walking also helps keep
the heart healthy and active. According
to the American Heart Association, half
an hour of exercise five days a week is
the consistency to aim for, so make your
walks last that long.
