“In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks” – John Muir
Here are just a few reasons to join “Walk this Way….. In Redwood Falls”
By Dorie Oja and Cindy Moldan, Redwood Area Hospital Diabetes and Nutrition Center
Walking is the cornerstone to good health. It is a gentle, low-impact exercise that can help you ease into a fitness and health routine. Walking can be done any time, any place and with anyone. It is low cost—all a person needs is a good pair of walking shoes.
While everyone enjoys walking for a different reason, we love the life-changing health benefits it can provide.
- Lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol)
- Raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the “good” cholesterol)
- Lower your blood pressure
- Decrease your risk for heart disease
- Reduce your risk of or manage type 2 diabetes
- Improve bone health and reduce your risk for bone fractures
- Manage your weight
- Improve your mood
- Reduce levels of anxiety
- Increase energy
- Improve sleep
- Stay strong and fit
Best of all, we have the opportunity to enjoy natural beauty in our wonderful Ramsey Park.
