As reported by the, AHA, stress is a fact of life and exercise is extremely beneficial in managing the stresses of daily life.
Chronic stress not only takes a toll on mental health but also can effect the heart, digestion, sleep and memory. Walking and all forms of physical activity are all helpful in reducing stress and maintaining good health.
