7. Walking can speed up your metabolism
Our bodies as fuel use the food we eat. When you fill up the tank but don’t go anywhere, the fuel remains unused. In the body, unused fats and sugars are stored for future use. If they are never used, they can lead to a rise in blood sugar levels and an increase in weight. That’s why it’s important to put the food you put into your body to work for you.
Metabolism is the rate at which your body converts food into energy. A sluggish metabolic rate means that you’re likely to gain weight. You can speed up your metabolism with regular exercise such as walking. The minute you start walking, your muscles start working and demand fuel which the body metabolizes. This will minimize how many unconverted fats and sugars are retained in the body and help you to lose weight.
