How walking is beneficial?

Every day we go through massive amounts of stress. Long walks may be one of the best things you can do to undo mental stress. Walking can increase oxygen, but at the same time, it’s a low- stress exercise. It can decrease cortisol and support the parasympathetic nervous system. It can also help improve your mood. Taking long walks, getting out into nature, and getting space can be very helpful in extracting the mental stress that accumulates throughout the day.
