Walking & Biking

Moving is an activity that most humans do each day. Whether one refers to this formally as exercises for health promotion or enjoyment of gardening and walking each day, this is a lifestyle choice that is necessary to support one’s health and healing.

Using various activities of moving throughout your day is a way to assist the heart and lymphatic system to implement better circulation, the nervous system to find calmness, and to assist digestion. When you get up and move you are making a healthy lifestyle choice.

A great activity for moving about is to get yourself, and children, involved in gardening. Healthy foods and excercise.

Or choose fun activities like dancing, swimming, or learn Tai Chi as a more gentle way to help with healing and health promotion in your daily life. These can become a social or an individual pursuit, whichever works for your life.
