There are multiple benefits to walking and doing this regularly, particularly in relation to mental health and wellbeing. Walking improves and preserves brain memory, and Health and Social Care studies show that a brisk walk is just as effective as antidepressants in mild to moderate cases of depression.
Indeed, walking releases feel-good endorphins, while also reducing stress and anxiety, so has many positive effects on our mental health. With Sole Touch and our Keep On Moving activity, we can also incorporate a life skills talk on topics of interest, such as mindfulness, into our walks, which will further help toboost concentration levels and memory.
