Walk dont run - health tip - Dr. Jordan Rubin

Advice for Healthy Living
Walk, Don't Run
The oldest physical activity of the human race can be simply expressed in one word — walking. One of Adam's first tasks was to care for God's garden: a job that required lots of walking. The longest-lived humans in history usually walked everywhere they went. They hunted wild game on foot, built shelters, trailed behind their animals and herds, and cultivated fields at an active pace each day with intermittent periods of rest. They knew nothing about aerobic exercise (which increases oxygen consumption), treadmills, or running tracks, but they were masters at anaerobic exercise — activities that incur an "oxygen debt" through briefly sustained exertion. Subsequent development of our species and the world has demanded even more walking.
Don't waste time looking for parking spots close to your destination — choose a spot far away and walk there. You're getting healthful exercise while you're doing an errand. Forget the elevators and escalators — take the stairs, or take a walk on the beach or to the corner store. Ride a bicycle, stroll through your neighborhood, and "walk the mall" when the weather doesn't cooperate with your exercise plans. A brisk two-mile walk (with long strides and vigorous arm movements) every day increases enzyme and metabolic activity and may increase caloric burning for up to 12 hours afterward!

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
