Hey, all you late risers, wake up, look outside, it is a beautiful new day. The sun is bright and the leaves and flowers are looking fresh. Get up and go out and take a walk in any park near your home. If you do not want to exert too much, take a gentle stroll through the park. If you are feeling a little more energetic, why not try a slightly brisk walk.
The health benefits of a morning walk are so many that it is surprising that everyone does not indulge in one. Your body is relaxed and much more responsive to external stimulants than at any other time of the day. It is able to exert much more at this time than at any other time of the day. Hence you are likely to burn more calories now than at any other time with the same amount of effort.
But much more than this is the beneficial effect on your mind. The air is clean, since the pollution levels around the city are at their lowest at this point. Your body breathes in more oxygen and there is a certain level of detoxification that happens now. There are fewer sounds around you, and you can hear the chirping of the birds and the occasional rustling of the leaves. Research has proved that nature's sounds help to relax the mind and de-stress the body.
So what are you waiting for? Get up, wear a nice pair of walking shoes and just step out on the road to the park or the garden. You will love it.
