Walking is often an underrated form of exercise. There are many benefits to walking we don’t talk about, and walking has even been lauded as a better workout than running by scientists. We’ve outlined some of the best benefits a daily walk can have for you below.
Food deserts are “geographic areas where residents have few to no convenient options for securing affordable and healthy foods — especially fresh fruits and vegetables.” The USDA’s most recent food access research report, conducted in 2017, estimated that 6.2% of the population (19 million people) were living in a food desert.
With food prices rising, it’s difficult for many Americans to afford groceries – especially healthy ones.

To help you afford healthy groceries reliably, we’ve compiled a list of proven tips and tricks to help you cut costs at the grocery store.
With the sun setting so early, it can be difficult to get outside during daylight hours. A quick jog or walk after work is a great way to get some fresh air, relieve stress, and move your body, but there are a few risks to be aware of and prepared for. With a little forethought, we can all continue to enjoy a nighttime stroll or jog safely.
As the seasons change, people talk about the weather and air. Whether it’s a hot, humid summer or cold, dry winter, we’re always told to stay informed on the effects the season may have on our body. Every season and air type impacts your health, and it’s especially important to know the consequences of dry air on your body during these cold winter months.

Do they really make a difference in our health? Do vegetarians and vegans need to take supplements to replace a lack of nutrients? Read on to find out.
When the weather is warm, it’s easy and enjoyable to get outside for a walk, bike ride, jog, or pickup sports game. Unfortunately, that motivation to get outside can be hard to find on cold days filled with snow and rain. Don’t let the cold discourage you from getting outside!
People are becoming increasingly ill as the weather becomes colder and everyone spends more time indoors. If you find yourself feeling under the weather, you may be questioning if you have a common cold, the flu, or COVID-19. The symptoms of all three often look and feel similar, making it critical to understand the small deviations in symptoms, how each virus is spread, and how you can protect yourself.
Functional fitness, also called functional training or functional movement, is a type of strength-building exercise designed to make daily activities easier. By incorporating functional training into your exercise routine, you’re strengthening muscles for everyday activities, lowering the chance of injury, and improving your quality of life!
