Walk for health. Walking allows you to keep one foot on the ground, proceed at your own pace and experience many of God’s exciting sights and sounds. Possible benefits of walking include mood improvement, weight loss, blood pressure drop and a longer life. Walking a short path will allow for more exercise, relaxation and love of life than the emptiness of idleness. Walk in peace and walk me to death. “Walking is man’s best medicine.” HIPPOCRATES, The father of medicine and the Hippocratic Oath.
