• Aids in weight management
• Reduces HbA1c (measure for diabetic control)
• Reduces inflammation
• Reduces mental stress
• Reduces the incidence of depression
Motivate yourself to get active by setting a goal to walk for 30 minutes at least three times a week. Invite a friend to join you or listen to a podcast or audiobook during your workout.
