I think that everyone agrees that walking is good for our health. The problem often is doing it. Some of us really enjoy it, others find it boring and a waste of time. Or for me, it’s just finding the time or making it a priority. Once I get started I really enjoy it, but it’s a matter of getting started. My Doctor and wife tell me I need to and I agree….but….there is always something else I feel that I should be doing.
In a recent AARP Bulletin article by Lambeth Hochwald, Walking a Little Can Go a Long Way, she expounds on some of the merits of walking. Included in her list are:
1. It’s great for the heart 2. It cuts breast-cancer risks 3. It helps you sleep 4. It cuts down on aches and pains 5. It makes you happy 6. It keeps you slimmer 7. It staves off senior moments 8. It protects your bones
It’s a nice article, I encourage you to click on the link above and read it.
One of the things that make walking easier is to have a fun place to walk. A new website WalkScore.com has the ability to tell you how walkable your neighborhood is, or those around you. Plug in a city or address and see what’s available. Portland, OR is the 10th best city in the nation. Check it out below. You can also use it find places to visit while you are getting healthier.
What does this have to do with a Reverse Mortgage? Nothing, and everything. A Reverse Mortgage can help you financially stay in your home while walking can help you physically stay in your home.
