You probably spend half an hour a day on the Internet. You spend half an hour in a traffic jam. Half an hour you just don't know what you could do next. We have a suggestion - take a walk.

These are just some of the benefits you will get from a half-hour walk:

You will consume a minimum of 150 kcal

It doesn't sound like much, but due to the effect of walking on the metabolism, the increased burning is actually prolonged for several hours.

You will feel more relaxed

Regardless of whether you decided to walk through the city streets or through nature, after half an hour you will feel relaxed. You don't have to walk fast, give yourself enough time to walk slowly with your thoughts.

You will reduce the risk of varicose veins

It has been proven that regular walking reduces the appearance of varicose veins, as well as pain due to already existing ones. It is only important that you wear comfortable shoes.

You will improve digestion

Do not lie down after a large meal. That's the right time for a half-hour walk. In those half hours, your body will digest a heavy meal much faster, and it will help your body retain all the good nutrients you need. Not to mention energy and fitness.

Use a walk for things you normally don't have time for

While walking you can just look around and think, and you can also call a friend you haven't heard from in a long time or finally call the dentist and make an appointment.

It will inspire you to exercise

After half an hour of walking every day becomes a bit monotonous, believe me, you will want to do more. Don't be surprised if, even though you may never have been inclined to run, you suddenly want to pick up the pace instead of walking. After all, now you will surely be in much better shape than when you preferred to spend half an hour in front of the screen, reports Tportal.
