The benefits of walking
One of the easiest exercises that can be done almost everywhere and at any time.
You really don’t need equipment to do it. Yes, your shoes should be comfortable & you should be dressed to fit the weather.

But if you feel that you don’t have enough time for your family, take your spouse, kids or parents for a walk. You can walk in silence or you can walk and talk about things you love. One of the best ways to meet each other better. (8/12)
Those are my own reasons why walking is so good. But there is also a long list of how it influences our health. I love 2 of them the most:

Walking can delay the effects of ageing, lower dementia or Alzheimer's risk and allow us to live longer.(10/ 12)
Quick walks relax the mind and improve memory. Walking involves the part of your brain that is responsible for verbal memory, learning and ability to think clearly. (11/12)
