Neighborhoods
That Encourage Walking Reduce Obesity and Diabetes
{鼓励更多步行的邻里有助于减少肥胖病和糖尿病}
In an earlier post, Why
Walking is Good, Walking is Good because anyone can do it at any age and
any fitness level. Plus it is good for your heart, your head and your wallet. Here is why Walking is extremely good for
post-transplant patients – 2-3 weeks after my surgery, I started with walking and
am still doing it. An exercise
recommended by most Renal doctors. I
intend to continue my Walking for the rest of my life.
My latest post demonstrates the importance
of neighborhood planning and walking contributing to the reduction of Obesity
and Diabetes.
In accordance to the article from American Diabetes Association, some important points are as
follow:
·
Base on
a 10-year period study in Canada, more "walkability" spaces within
the neighborhoods would lead to lower risk of developing diabetes.
·
Diabetes fell 7% but rise 6%
for those who live in least walkable neighborhoods.
·
Overweight and obesity
fell by 9% for those live in most walkable neighborhoods.
