I always take the opportunity to walk not only for health reasons but also to save the rising cost of petrol.

According to Japanese researchers, they have found out when you walk twice a week for twenty minutes each time you are able to improve your mood and your outlook will be more positive. The finding was obtained after the subjects had walked for 32 weeks.

It means regular walking makes you happier.

In another research conducted by a group of Italian, They found that those who walked regularly were less likely to develop vascular dementia over the next four years. Vascular dementia is caused by impaired blood flow to the brain. The research was done on 749 adults who were 65 years of age or older.

Some of the other benefits of walking are:

• Improves your cardiovascular functions and reduce your blood pressure
• Strengthens your muscles, joints, and bones
