  When my wife at age 46 died of ovarian cancer - my mind pulled me in all directions and I was both physically and mentally drained. Walking literally saved me, I was so emotionally upset, &nbsp;as a grown man i would cry almost at anything after she was gone. I regained my mental health by walking - during my darkest days I walked almost the entire day - it beat back the depression, it gave me a time to talk with God and ask many questions. I felt a sense of normalcy again. I look forward to weekend walks today which at times could be for a few hours early Saturday morning - alone with my thoughts, having a conversation at times with myself and just feeling a peace and harmony.

  Aside from the obvious physical benefits, can&apos;t underestimate the simple fact that walking gets us away from screens and out into the real world.

  I was in a deep depression about 10 years ago. 100+ lbs overweight, reeling from a broken engagement, unemployed, about to be evicted, you name it. One day I walked around the block to feel sorry for myself and legitimately thought about ending it all. I just kept walking. I don&apos;t know how long I walked, but I suddenly felt incredible. My troubles all seemed trivial and life just becmae more beautiful over those few hours. We are meant to move. Go move.

  My grandmother has walked 3 miles every day for decades. She is fully independent at 85 years old and she is very healthy.

  My grandma at 96 walks a mile a day. I know it&apos;s why she&apos;s still alive.

  I started walking 4-5 miles a day about 4 years ago when I turned 65. I lost my son to brain cancer last year and I don’t think I would have survived without my walking habit. It’s saving my mind and my body.

  There’s a man who lives in my apartment building and I see him walking every single day, no matter what the weather is like, he gets up and goes for his daily walk.

  Always appreciate a doctor that cares about people instead of just making money. Thank you for your channel.
