Hello and Happy Weekend Everyone!
I will be chiming in periodically this month with interesting facts and infographics about sitting less and moving more. In addition to the daily challenges, deepening our understanding of why inactivity is so bad for us can give us that extra nudge to stand up and get moving when we're tempted to just pull up a chair.
Today's Did You Know? post focuses on how terrific walking is for us. Pretty fascinating, huh? Infographic courtesy Nathan Stephens, a Scottish clinical researcher.

Glad you like it! I do too. I need to make a correction, however. It looks to me that the originator of the infographic is Prevention Magazine: http://www.prevention.com/fitness/fitness-tips/health-benefits-walking
So now you know that too! 0 -
Diabetes runs in my family and I want to avoid getting it too. I will definitely try to add more walking to my day.0
