8. Boosts Immune Function
The immune system is an important part of your body and protects you from any invasive pathogens that might want to put your health at risk. If your body were a country, the immune system would be your defense department.
Infections, diseases, and death can all be postponed if you have a healthy immune system. Walking for at least half an hour a day can strengthen your immune cells. The T-cells, B-cells, and natural killer cells are all important parts of your immune system, and walking regularly can increase the numbers and health of these cells.
It can also help your body heal quicker due to the fact that it hastens the release of WBCs. Walking can strengthen your defensive capabilities against pathogenic invaders, speed up the healing of wounds, and prevent potentially life-ending diseases. With all the health benefits that walking offers, you’d have to be a fool to not walk more often.
