Walking can reduce the risk of heart attack. Cardiac muscle requires more vigorous blood flow (from the coronary vessels that feed it) to get fit and function normally to pump blood nonstop. Walking hurriedly hardened the flow of blood into the coronary heart. Thus the oxygen adequacy of the heart muscle is met and the heart muscle is awake to remain sufficiently beating. Not only that, the flexibility of arteries of the trained body of the buds and fluffs will be helped by the muscles of the body that surround the blood vessel walls during the rushing walk. The end result, blood pressure tends to be lower, adhesions between blood cells that can result in clots of blood clots vessel blockage will also be reduced.
In addition, good cholesterol (HDL) that works as a bad cholesterol absorbing sponge (LDL) will increase by foot hopped. There are not many ways beyond drugs that can increase HDL levels other than by moving the body. Walking hastily recorded can reduce the risk of heart attack to live half.
Prevent Stroke.
Although the benefits of walking stumbling against stroke have not been as real as the effect on coronary heart disease, some studies have shown encouraging results. Just look at the natural proof of our ancestors who do more walking activities every day, the case of the old strokes is not as much now. One study of 70 thousand nurses (Harvard School of Public Health) who in the works recorded walking activities as much as 20 hours a week, their risk of stroke decreased two-thirds.
Stable weight.
Apparently by getting used to the routine walk, the body's metabolic rate is increased. In addition to the amount of calories wasted by walking activity, the excess calories that may exist will be burned by the increased metabolism of the body, so that weight gain does not occur.

Get used to walk about 6 km per hour, travel time about 50 minutes, it can delay or prevent the development of Type 2 diabetes, especially in those who are obese. This is based on a study from the National Institute of Diabetes and Gigesive & Kidney Diseases.
As we know that cases of diabetes that can be overcome without the need to take medication, can be done by choosing regular exercise routine. As long as the blood sugar can be controlled only by moving the body, no medication is needed. That means that walking as quickly as the benefits of antidiabetic drugs.
Prevent osteoporosis.
Bodybuilding and walking fast, not only the muscles of the body are strengthened, but the bones as well. For calcium metabolism, moving bodies are needed as well, in addition to needing morning sun exposure. Not enough extra calcium and vitamin D alone to prevent or slow the process of osteoporosis. The body also requires exercise and takes at least 15 minutes exposed to the morning sun to be free from the threat of osteoporosis.
Those who exercise since young, and consume enough calcium, until the age of 70 years is estimated to be free from the threat of bone loss.
Relieves gout knee.
More one-third of elderly people in America experience gout (osteoarthiris). By getting used to walking fast or choosing to walk in the pool, complaints of knee rheumatic pain can subside. For those with knee pain, walking needs to be done alternately, not every day. The goal is to give the joint a chance to recover.
Treating Depression.
