How Walking Keeps You Young: Lessons from the Blue Zones (Part Two)

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I continue reading from a review titled “The Multifaceted Benefits of Walking for Healthy Aging: From Blue Zones to Molecular Mechanisms," a "comprehensive summary of the extensive literature on the health benefits of walking in older adults." In Part One, we reviewed the methods of this study and the cardiovascular outcomes, including hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In Part Two we will cover Cognitive Function and Dementia, Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), All Cause Mortality, Cancer, Respiratory Pathologies, Bone health, Sleep health, & Mental health. And finally, the study also reviews the adverse effects of walking and optimizing physical activity. Because the review is quite long and includes a lot of technical language,  some sections have been excluded from the podcast but are available upon request. I've also compiled a glossary of the less frequently used technical terms which is available upon request.Check out WhyWalkingMatters.com Blog and become a subscriber for weekly walking tips!
