[quote=Anonymous]Voluminous studies have also clearly established that the most effective long term treatment of chronic pain is gentle movement- especially walking.

Maybe using our bodies as millions of years of biology intended is actually good for us? So far the research shows that walking benefits us significantly in terms of sleep, mood, pain, cholesterol levels (especially boosting hdl and lowering triglycerides), blood sugar regulation and building/maintaining bone density.

But sure naysayers, go ahead and decry the value of walking.

No, walking cannot outpace a poor diet. No exercise no matter how intense will make up for binge eating, or eating a diet high in ultra processed foods which research shows compels most people to eat ~500 calories more daily than they do on a clean diet of minimally processed foods. 90% of weight loss is what you put down your gullet, period.

But yes an overweight or obese person who walks daily will be healthier than a slender person who is sedentary. All the research is showing us this. It’s not rocket science - health is about much more than the numbers on the scale or on your clothes tags. [/quote]
