Take a walk.

MyShoes.jpg Today I took the first step toward reducing my chances of heart disease--and all I did was walk to work.

 

The American Heart Association launched National Start! Walking Day, a program that encourages people to start walking and take better care of their health.  Heart disease is the number 1 killer in the United States, but we can reduce the risk just by adding 30 minutes of physical activity into our daily routine. 

 

Simple stuff, really, but it requires effort by the individual and support by the companies that employee them.  We've heard the message--and now we need to start listening and take the steps--literally--to prevent diseases.

 

Not everyone can walk to work so companies like GlaxoSmithKline are supporting this campaign and encouraging employees to grab a "sole-mate" and take a 30-minute walking break. 

 

Get walking--your life is worth it.
