5. Improves Circulation
It might sound ridiculous, but walking more can actually make you smarter. We swear we aren’t messing with you, and if you walked more, you’d be smart enough to know that. Walking increases the supply of glucose and oxygen to the brain allowing it to function at optimal efficiency.
It has also been able to lower the LDL cholesterol levels in your body — a type of cholesterol that can clog your arteries and increase the odds of having a stroke. Through the reduction of these LDL levels, walking improves the blood circulation in your body which in turn helps your cells and brain function properly — making you smarter.
It’s a bit of a catch-22 since to be more intelligent by walking you’d need to be smart enough to make the decision to walk more often in the first place. We’re confident that you can break the loop and reap the benefits though.
