Does walking help with weight loss?

 Walking can help you to lose weight. But depending on your goals and lifestyle, walking might not be enough. The formula for weight loss is to expend more calories and consume fewer calories.

Walking your way to lower heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes risk

 Heart disease: With walking or cardio, your heart becomes more efficient at the amount of blood it pumps out per beat. As the heart becomes more efficient at pumping blood, it doesn’t have to work as hard. “There's less pressure on all of the arteries (动脉) and there's less pressure on the organ (器官) itself. That will impact your heart health for your whole life.

Arthritis (关节炎): If a closed door is not in use much, there's going to be rust. If this door hinge （铰链）is moving back and forth, it’s going to slide and open and close much easier. Any type of movement, like a walk, will decrease the stiffness (僵硬) and the pain from arthritis.

Type 2 Diabetes (糖尿病): Exercise helps lower blood sugar because it's actually doing the job of insulin ( 胰岛素) for those with type 2 diabetes.
