Having a heart is good for the heart!

Medical researchers believe that walking as little as 150 minutes a week can have a positive impact on your health. Moderate-intensity activities, in general, can lower the risk of developing heart disease.

BHF walking challenge

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) understands the importance walking has for keeping the heart in good condition. That’s why they organise a series of walking events throughout the year called Just Walk.

And it’s easy to get involved. So if you like walking, why not raise money for heart research and earn money you can use as part payment on goods and services.

As a matter of fact, walking has numerous health benefits:

It Pays To Walk

Numerous studies show that regular walking can add years on to your life. In one study, researchers told the European Society of Cardiology that 25 minutes of brisk walking every day could extend the average lifespan of up to seven years.

One of the key reasons for that is because walking provides cardiovascular benefits which help your heart function efficiently. The benefits include lowering cholesterol, improving blood pressure, reducing inflammation and relieving mental stress.

To encourage people to live an active lifestyle, improve your heart and raise money for heart research, the British Heart Foundation organises walks and treks throughout the year – both in the UK and overseas. Check out the BHF walking schedule here.
