Abstract
Though human beings are naturally born to walk, it is the one thing that most of us are too lazy to do. In most cases, the simple act of walking requires putting one foot forward, followed by the other. People all over the world walk for one reason or another. In deserts and isolated parts of the world, people walk in search of food and water to survive. While in the affluent parts of the world, people need to walk to stay healthy and alive. Walking as an exercise doesn't incur a great cost like other forms of exercise. As our bodies are wired with nerves, the act of walking stimulates the nerves in our feet and sends signals to our brains. As a result, the fragmented ideas in our brains connect to form new creative ideas and analysis. Simply put, walking helps us not only to stay healthy but also to become creative. Therapists suggest that the sheer act of going for a walk keeps our bodies fit and our hearts cheerful. Going for a walk also helps us to subdue our anger and frustration. Walking provides an opportunity to weigh things out in our minds and makes us see our own faults in our human interactions. A walk in the morning or evening can be a spiritual experience when we come in contact with nature or with our fellow human beings. Looking at the things and events happening around us during our walk can make us see the greatness of the Almighty and make us realise that we are not alone in facing the problems of life. Looking at the objects in nature— beautiful hills, mountains, lakes, waterfalls, people of different shades of colour, and animals— can bring joy and the feeling of togetherness into our hearts. So, don't wait. Go and reap the benefits of walking.
