NATIONAL WALKING MONTH
I
f you think walking is underrated or that you don’t have time for it, think again. The benefits of regular walking are many, and even if you don’t need to lose weight, it can still help you live a healthier life – walking has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease, stroke and even some types of cancer, and it’s good for the soul too. Presuming you go for a walk outdoors rather than on a treadmill, being surrounded by nature will calm your body and mind, and help you manage stress. Better still, it’s really never too late to start and unlike some other forms of exercise, walking is FREE.
How much should we walk?
Although the aim of 10,000 steps a day has been promoted as a benchmark for health improvement, you can benefit from far less than that – even those with a sedentary job can achieve 3,000 to 4,000 steps on an average day. If you can add another form of activity to your day, for instance house chores or gardening, the 10,000 steps becomes a lot easier to achieve. You could set a goal of 10,000 steps on days when you do no other activity, and simply walk less on the days when you might go 34
for a swim, a Pilates class or visit the gym provided you really do some exercise there, not just chat by the treadmills!
Motivation
While dog owners are forced to walk by their beloved pets in any weather (or they may find their slippers chewed to bits), the reluctant walker may need a little encouragement. Why not swap your weekly coffee morning for a walking chat? You can always take the coffee with you... Alternatively, why not join a local walking group? Company makes the time pass quicker and you won’t even notice the hard work. Okay, so you might get out of breath but at least you will have the sympathy and encouragement of your fellow walkers. Setting goals and monitoring your progress can be motivating – it often brings out the competitive nature in us. Whether you decide to gradually increase the distance you walk, to improve your speed or lower your
ADVERTISE - Book Online www.link-mag.co.uk 0800 970 7687 or sales@link-mag.co.uk
Health & Fitness resting heart rate, seeing your progress is rewarding and it will encourage you to keep going. One simple way to measure your progress is using a scale of your perceived exertion, from 0 to 10, with 0 effort being equivalent to lounging on the couch, and 10 being the absolute maximum. Pick a distance you can walk regularly, time how long it takes you to walk it, and then even if you stick to the same time on every walk, simply ask yourself at the end how exhausted you feel on the scale of 0 to 10 – the same walk should require less effort over time.
Gadgets Wearable technology like FitBit can also help and so do the many free apps that you can download to your smartphone. For example, a pedometer app will count the steps when you simply walk with the phone in your pocket. It is worth a try, you will eventually see the benefit of monitoring your progress and commitment (or lack of it). There is nothing like the gentle prod from the Apple Watch to get people to stand up every hour, even if they only walk to put the kettle on!
Safety
Choose safe areas for your walks and make sure you can see where you’re stepping – a sprained ankle can set you back weeks! Out in the fields the ground can be uneven and somewhat treacherous especially when covered with grass so to prevent ankle sprains, wear walking boots with good support – compared to the usual gym trainers, outdoor shoes provide a better grip on wet or muddy surfaces. Lastly, if you are walking in city parks at night, stay in well lit areas, and if your walk includes crossing unlit country roads at night, wear a high visibility jacket or at least a stripe across your top. Remember that car drivers get tired and distracted at night and may not spot you in time if you are dressed in dark colours.

Ch�colate & I
CHEESE
f you are one of those lucky people who ‘prefer cheese’, you probably won’t have much sympathy for the sugar addicts around you. Not that the two camps are at war or anything but there are a few key differences that set them apart. You see, sugarholics - almost synonymous with chocoholics (have you ever met a sugarholic who doesn’t like chocolate?), claim to be born that way. “I’ve had a sweet tooth as long as I can remember!” they often say, thinking of whatever finger-licking pot of gooey, chocolatey loveliness had started the love affair. Cheese lovers, on the other hand, tell you that you can learn to love cheese. My sisterin-law who is a true cheese connoisseur even promised me that if I’d started eating cheese, it would eventually ‘cure’ my sweet tooth. Well, what can I tell you, I launched into my new cheese eating campaign with enthusiasm, only to find myself liking cheese as had been promised, but guess what? I still have an incorrigible sweet tooth. Whatever taste buds were meant to be re-educated by the new onslaught of salty, creamy flavours, remained stubbornly in favour of sweetness. So although I still identify as a sweet tooth owner, chocoholic and sugar addict, now I also like cheese and eat it with a gusto, where before I had the same attitude to the white
38
stuff as cheese lovers have to sweets: take it or leave it. The experiment has failed. And just in case you think this is a one off case, the experiment was repeated in the scientific conditions of our household on my other half, who - you’ve guessed it, is also a chocoholic. The result was the same. Having evolved from the days of mild cheddar and the gentle, nutty flavours of emmental, we find ourselves in the supermarket cheese counter pondering whether we should go for mature or extra mature cheddar for the broccoli and cheese soup. Just to make sure we buy both, and then some more, so if you opened our fridge, you’d think two cheese lovers live here. You see, there is white Stilton, French goat cheese, a slice of Brie, even a few packages with names I cannot even pronounce, let alone know what they mean. No spaghetti Bolognese is complete without a generous topping of Parmigiano Reggiano; we always have a good laugh trying it on with the Italian accent. But has eating cheese cured us of the sweet tooth? No. At the end of the supermarket trip we head towards the dessert counter to keep the peace between the two warring sets of taste buds. “A little bit of something you fancy is good for you, right?” my other half says, holding on tight to his chosen cheesecake.
