PEARLS 2012 ARCHIVE: THE BEST EXERCISE!

MARCH 10, 2012 – Week 2

“Walking, in all cases where it is possible, is the best remedy for diseased bodies, because in this exercise all the organs of the body are brought into use.... There is no exercise that can take the place of walking. By it the circulation of the blood is greatly improved.” (Testimonies, vol. 3, p. 78) 

“Walking for 30 minutes a day can prevent weight gain in most people who are physically inactive, according to a Duke University study. The reason walking helps control your weight: It's easy! 'The harder the exercise is, the less people will do it,' says Johnny Benjamin, MD, chairman of the department of orthopedics at Indian River Medical Center in Vero Beach, Florida.” (click here for the full CNN article, published in June 13, 2008)
