Not maintaining the habit of walking can
silently cause many negative impacts on 

00:00:06.398 --> 00:00:07.948 
both physical and mental health. 

00:00:08.688 --> 00:00:11.936 
First of all, the risk of
life-threatening diseases will increase 

00:00:11.936 --> 00:00:15.508 
significantly, sedentary lifestyles are
related to cardiovascular health and poor metabolism, 

00:00:15.888 --> 00:00:19.117 
increases the likelihood of second-line
diabetes, heart disease and even 

00:00:19.117 --> 00:00:20.408 
some types of cancer. 

00:00:20.548 --> 00:00:24.855 
Conversely, just about 15 minutes of
brisk walking each day has been shown to 

00:00:24.855 --> 00:00:27.008 
significantly reduce the risk of premature death. 

00:00:27.008 --> 00:00:30.788 
Besides, not only physically affected,
lack of exercise also 

00:00:30.788 --> 00:00:32.048 
affects mental health. 

00:00:32.508 --> 00:00:36.928 
When not walking, the body will reduce
the secretion of endorphins, hormones that create positive feelings. 

00:00:37.308 --> 00:00:41.088 
This can increase the risk of
anxiety, depression, and fatigue. 

00:00:41.508 --> 00:00:45.408 
In addition, reduced mobility and joint
function are the most obvious consequences. 

00:00:45.648 --> 00:00:49.220 
Less walking makes the body stiff,
reduces flexibility and in the long 

00:00:49.220 --> 00:00:50.708 
run can reduce bone density, 

00:00:50.708 --> 00:00:54.768 
increases the risk of osteoporosis or
loss of mobility, especially in older adults. 

00:00:55.248 --> 00:00:58.934 
Experts recommend maintaining daily
exercise, even at a mild level, 

00:00:58.934 --> 00:01:00.408 
can protect long-term health.
