To that end, the heart muscle needs more blood flow swift and smooth. Hurriedly walk Hustle coronary blood flow to the heart. Thus the adequacy of oxygen the heart muscle and heart muscle are met can stay awake for quite a beat.

Not only that. Flexibility of the arteries of the body of trained contract and expand mengejangnya will be helped by the muscles around the walls of blood vessels when performing activities on foot rushed it.

Despite the benefits of walking hurriedly towards stroke has not been as real as its influence on coronary heart disease, some studies have shown encouraging results. Just look at the natural evidence of our ancestors were doing more walking activities every day, old stroke cases not as much now. One study of 70 thousand nurses (Harvard School of Public Health) that the work was recorded walking activity as much as 20 hours a week decreased their risk of stroke two-thirds.

The condition of joints that have been like that need to be maintained and protected so as not to experience a severe shock by the load weight, especially in the obese.

When the bearings (sol) less tender sneakers, shoes failed act as shock absorbers (shock absorber). That means the joints continue to experience heavy shock load during walking, especially when running or jumping. This is the worsening condition of joints, joint pain and trigger an attack or cause joint disease in those at risk of joint disorders.
