Stresul bun care face bine inimii. Cum susține mersul pe jos sănătatea cardiovasculară și longevitatea

Walking is a simple yet effective way to enhance heart health and longevity. Engaging in long-distance walking improves oxygenation of the heart and promotes 'good stress' or eustress, which boosts physical and emotional resilience. A recent study revealed that many Romanians lead sedentary lifestyles, with only a small percentage regularly hiking. Regular physical activity is linked to reduced cardiovascular risk and increased lifespan. MedLife, in collaboration with Tășuleasa Social, is conducting a study on the Via Transilvanica trail to explore the health benefits of walking. Long-distance walking strengthens the heart, regulates blood pressure, and can prevent metabolic diseases. However, individuals should be aware of their limits and consult healthcare professionals if they have existing heart conditions.
