Health Is Vital

Health is taken for granted, until you can't any more. In this blog I hope to put down on paper some of the articles I come across and want to remember, about health. I will be personalizing these articles to apply to me. I am diabetic, over weight, have high blood pressure and tinnitus, so these are the things you will find here. I will include nutrition, exercise, and holistic health, and many other ideas. I work in the health profession, particularly mental health, and have an interest in suicide prevention; so these topics will also be covered in this blog. Please, if you are suffering reach out. Our county health and crisis line is 1-855-278-4204.

Magazine Article Review: Walk Your Way Happy

 Walk Your Way Happy by Gina Way, Prevention Magazine, Hearst, New York, October 2025, pp 40-49.

Hit the pavement, or path, because walking will make you feel better.  Mindful walking is particularly powerful.  Fo us on your environment and how your body feels as you walk.  Even a mini walk, ten brisk minutes, is helpful.  

Focus on your step and breathing, being mindful, going somewhere new, and strolling in nature.  Making a game of your walking is helpful; perhaps an ABC walk, or a scavenger bunt.  Mix in challenges.  Walk in intervals, changing the pace or the slope.  

Walking can be fun!!!
