The Mental Health Benefits of Taking 4 Mile Affirmation Filled Walks

Improves Your Mood

The 4-mile affirmation-filled walks trigger your body to release endorphins. These feel-good hormones leave you with feelings of pleasure, reducing the symptoms of mood disorders, including depression.

Boost Cognitive Function

The 4-mile affirmation-filled walks prevent shrinkage of the hippocampus, a part of the brain involved in memory and emotion processing. This boosts cognitive function. For this reason, as a mental health expert, I highly recommend frequent participation in 4-mile affirmation-filled walks, especially if you are 40 or above.

Physical Benefits of Taking 4 Mile Walks Regularly

Promotes Weight Loss

Taking 4-mile walks regularly suppresses hunger, allowing you to eat small amounts of food. It also increases metabolism, meaning you will burn more calories.

Increases Bone Mass

4-mile walks are a low-impact exercise that helps your bone build more bone, increasing its density. High bone density makes you less susceptible to injuries.
