Walk Just 30 Minutes a Day

One simple act can reduce depression and anxiety, lower your risk for heart disease, improve sleep, decrease blood pressure and generally increase the quality and length of your life. What is it?

Walking for just 30 minutes a day. Going from a sedentary lifestyle to one that includes walking one-half hour a day can dramatically improve your well-being and provide some protection against a host of chronic diseases. If you can't always squeeze in a 30-minute walk, any activity beats sitting on the couch or in front of the computer.
