Advantage Of Morning Walk
Some
people play games like cricket, hockey, football, volleyball, badminton etc. Others
prefer yogic exercises because these keep not only the body but also the mind
in perfect condition. Nowadays, games have become very expensive. Everybody
cannot afford them. Yogic exercises cannot be learned without the help of a
yoga teacher. But walking is an exercise which is the cheapest. It does not
need any training. It is the easiest of all exercises. It is a light exercise. A
morning walk is the best exercise. It can keep a person fit and fresh throughout
the day. It is suitable for all whether rich or poor, the young or the old,
boys and girls. It refreshes the mind and improves the health. It provides fresh
air to the lungs. It purifies the blood. It improves digestion. That is why
doctors always recommend a morning walk to their patients. Mahatma Gandhi, the
Father of our Nation, laid great stress on morning walk. He himself used to go
out for a morning walk every day. He even undertook a number of Yatras journeys
on foot, to meet the people on the way. He loved walking very much. It is true
that for some persons it is not very easy to get up from their beds early in
the morning, particularly in the winter season. But if one has the determination
and a strong will power, it should not be too difficult for any person to rise early
even in winter. One must form a regular habit of a morning walk. This exercise is
good for health only if it is undertaken regularly without any break. In small
towns, the people can go out for a morning walk to the nearby open fields or
just stroll along a canal or river. But this is not possible in big cities like
Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. People of these cities should go to a public park or a garden to have a morning walk.
These places look green and beautiful and offer fresh air. A morning walk can also be had on the road
provided it is free from heavy traffic. A city dweller must not go out for a
morning walk to an industrial place because industrial pollution is a health hazard. Morning is the best time for a walk. A cool
breeze blows at this time. Birds chirp in the bushes and branches of the trees.
In villages, one can see the farmers ploughing their fields, sowing new crops
or reaping the ripe standing crops. Persian
wheels of the wells produce melodious sound. The scene in the cities is however
different. Here the people generally go to the public parks or gardens for a walk.
One can see many old men walking or doing light exercises. One can also come across
some men doing yogic exercise on the green grass. The beautiful flowers of the
garden dance with joy when a breeze blows. It is a delight to watch. The fresh and cool air of the gardens is very
invigorating. In the garden, some people take rounds; others walk barefoot o the
green grass. The green grass is covered with drops of dew. Those who are young
also do jogging. Fat persons are prone to diseases like diabetes, hypertension,
high blood pressure, etc. Doctors advise them to restrict their diet and bring down
their weight. In such cases, a brisk morning walks I very helpful in reducing
weight. Even persons who are lean and
thin can benefit from a morning walk. Morning walk makes a lean person fit to
digest food and thereby put on some extra flesh. One should spend at least an hour or two on
walking in a garden so that when the sun rises in the east, one can enjoy the
beauty of the rising sun. Every object is draped in the golden light of the rising
sun. The first rays of the sun are very good for health. It is a fact that health
is wealth. A morning walk every day keeps the doctor away. It is the cheapest
and the best recipe for maintaining good health
