What is the connection between walking and heart health?
Experts believe that walking is the best exercise for heart health. Every step you take improves heart health and also prevents many serious problems. According to the American Heart Association, walking reduces the level of bad cholesterol and blood pressure, which strengthens heart health and also makes you internally fit, and reduces weight.
Walking THIS many minutes a day without getting tired is proof of a healthy heart:
Experts believe that if you walk for 45 minutes a day without getting tired, it means that your heart health is excellent. However, if you start feeling breathless or panting within 15 to 20 minutes while walking, then you should be careful. However, if you have started walking then it is natural to get tired quickly, but if you start walking regularly then this problem will end.
The rules of walking change with age and gender:
Experts say that the rule of walking for 45 minutes without getting tired is not necessary for everyone. This rule is for the youth. If a 35-year-old person is walking 4 to 5 kilometers in 1 hour, it means that his heart is healthy. But if a 75-year-old person is walking 2 to 3 kilometers in an hour, then his heart is also healthy. That means the health of your heart also depends on your age and gender.
