The Surprising Benefits
Introduction
Do you want to go for a walk? Walking is so good for you that they have made April 6th National Walking Day and we think that is something to celebrate. Movement is medicine so lace up your most comfortable walking shoes and take a journey with Nukana. Walking is a great low-impact exercise for people with diabetes who want to manage their blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes, walking will help you lower your A1C, lose weight and lower your cholesterol. That’s because walking triggers the release of certain hormones that help control metabolism and digestion. You don’t need any special equipment or clothing to walk either—just comfortable shoes, and that isn’t even a necessity if you like to be barefoot!
If you have diabetes, walking can help you manage your blood sugar.
Walking is a great way to get exercise. It’s also a simple activity that anyone can do, regardless of age or health condition. If you have diabetes, walking can help you manage your blood sugar by increasing the amount of insulin released by the body.
If you’re trying to lose weight or lower cholesterol levels and improve other health conditions such as high blood pressure or high triglycerides (a type of fat), then walking will help with that too! Walking doesn’t require any special equipment–just put on some comfortable clothes and go outside!
Walking is a great low-impact exercise for people with diabetes who want to manage their blood sugar levels. It can also help you control cholesterol and weight, as well as lower your risk of developing heart disease.
Walking is one of the easiest ways to get started on a fitness program because it doesn’t require any special skills or equipment, just a little effort on your part. If you’ve been sedentary for some time, start slowly by walking around your neighborhood once or twice each day until you’re ready for more strenuous activity like jogging or running (which we’ll discuss in a future blog).
- Walking is good for your heart: Regular physical activity lowers blood pressure and improves circulation by strengthening muscles around artery walls. This reduces stress on the heart muscle so that it doesn’t have to work as hard during exercise or at rest.*
- WALKING WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE!
Walking is a great exercise for people of all ages.
Walking is a great exercise for people of all ages. It can help with weight loss, blood sugar management, and cholesterol levels. Walking doesn’t require any special equipment and can be done anywhere at any time! If you’re looking for some quick ways to get some exercise in your day-to-day routine, walking around the block or up stairs at work are two great options that don’t take up much time but still give your body some movement.
You don’t need any special equipment to walk.
If you want to walk, you don’t need any special equipment. A good pair of shoes is all you need. If you want to walk on uneven terrain or in the woods, however, a walking stick or backpack can help provide support and keep you safe as well as hydrated.
Exercise doesn’t have to be boring or repetitious. You can vary your walking routine in many ways.
You can vary your walking routine in many ways. Here are some examples:
- Take a different route. Instead of walking the same route every day, try walking in different neighborhoods or parks, or along the beach or riverfront. You might even want to change it up by going on a hike!
- Try a new activity that incorporates walking as part of its movement pattern (such as jogging), but also includes other forms of exercise such as running or jumping rope. This will keep things interesting and challenging for your body as it adapts to this new form of exercise over time–and who knows? You might find yourself loving it enough that you want to make it part of your regular routine!
- If none of those ideas sound appealing right now though…then just keep doing what works best for YOU!
If you prefer trails to sidewalks, that’s fine! Just be sure to wear shoes that are comfortable, waterproof and supportive enough for your needs.

If you’re walking on paved roads or sidewalks, a good pair of sneakers will do the trick. You can also opt for a pair of running shoes if they feel better with the terrain or weather conditions.
If there are rocks or gravel along your route–or if it’s wet outside–then boots might be more appropriate in order to protect both feet and ankles from injury caused by uneven surfaces (or even just slipping).

Conclusion
If you have diabetes, walking can be a great way to manage your blood sugar levels and stay healthy. It’s also an easy exercise to fit into your schedule. You don’t need any special equipment or even go outside if there isn’t anyplace nearby where you can walk safely (like sidewalks). All it takes is putting one foot in front of another! In Sioux City, even when the weather is bad, you can walk the Skywalk and stop in and see us in the Ho-Chunk Centre, right next to the coffeeshop on the 2nd floor. This will be a great time to grab some Nukana Joint Salve, FreezeGel, or a Relief Stick for those sore muscles from all the walking you are going to be doing! We also ship to all 50 states if you are out of town. Visit www.nukana.com for more information.
