We recently received some news about a gentleman we have been taking out walking every week for the past year. His wife was very pleased to tell us that he had some tests back from his doctor which showed that his blood pressure had come down to a normal level, his cholesterol level had reduced to normal and his blood sugar levels were also showing a normal reading. She also told us that, as there hadn’t been any other particular lifestyle changes other than the regular walking, the doctor was sure that it must be this that has helped him to make such a great improvement to his health.
We sometimes read about the health benefits of walking but it’s great to get feedback like this from someone we take out for walks. It really can make such a positive difference to people’s lives.
Hooray for walking!
