Improves Cardiovascular Health: Walking is a cardiovascular exercise that helps strengthen the heart and improve circulation. Regular walking can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, and improve overall cardiovascular health. Aids in Weight Management: Walking can help burn calories and contribute to weight loss or weight maintenance. It's an accessible form of exercise for people of all fitness levels and can be an effective component of a weight management plan. Strengthens Muscles and Bones: Walking engages various muscle groups, including the legs, glutes, and core. Over time, regular walking can help strengthen these muscles and improve overall muscle tone. It also promotes bone density, which can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Boosts Mood and Mental Health: Physical activity, including walking, stimulates the release of endorphins, neurotransmitters that promote feelings of happiness and well-being. Walking outdoors in nature can also reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression, leading to improved mood and mental health. Increases Energy Levels: Engaging in regular walking workouts can increase energy levels and reduce feelings of fatigue. Even a short walk can help boost alertness and focus, making it an excellent option for a midday energy boost. Enhances Sleep Quality: Regular physical activity, such as walking, can improve sleep quality and duration. Walking in the morning or early evening can help regulate your sleep-wake cycle and promote restful sleep at night. Reduces Risk of Chronic Diseases: Walking has been linked to a reduced risk of various chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and metabolic syndrome. It can also improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control in individuals with diabetes. Improves Joint Health and Mobility: Walking is a low-impact exercise that is gentle on the joints, making it suitable for people with arthritis or joint pain. Regular walking can help improve joint flexibility, reduce stiffness, and enhance overall mobility. ______ D I S C L A I M E R “How long does it take to see results?” One member sees results in 10 - 30 days does not mean you will get the same results like her. It’s because your body is different and unique (you have a SMALL BUILD or your starting size is BIGGER). And because there are so many different factors at play: how often you workout, the types of your workouts, body types, body weights, genetic, your age, food choices, meal portions, daily habits, lifestyle, living environment, you are being in calorie deficit or surplus, etc. – means that how quickly you see the results does not solely depend on my workouts, it’s the team work between YOU and I. Beginners (newbies, who never/barely exercise) and members with an average fit body, they often see results faster because their bodies adapt easily to the new changes. If you are not a beginner (even if you take a long break), your body needs more time to switch from old to new routines. And because of the differences among us (fitness goals, sizes, shapes, ages, health and physical conditions…), you should not rely on my workout as a substitute for, nor does it replace, professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Begin with your level, stay consistent with the programs/weekly plan on my website, build healthy eating habits, limit unhealthy foods and surround yourself with motivations. You will see results like many Inshape members do. Remember to take your Before photos and share your progress to inspire us ♡

7 Amazing Health Benefits of Aloe Vera | What's Aloe Vera Good For?

7 Amazing Health Benefits of Aloe Vera | What's Aloe Vera Good For? In today's video, we'll talk about aloe vera and its incredible health benefits. Aloe vera, a popular medicinal plant, is known for its antioxidant and antibacterial properties. It has a wide range of health benefits, including: Skin Health: Aloe vera can be applied topically to the skin to help with various skin conditions. For instance, you can apply aloe vera gel directly to the affected area to help reduce acne and skin inflammation. To help with skin injuries, you can apply aloe vera gel to the wound to speed up the healing process. For general skin health, you can incorporate aloe vera into your skincare routine by using products that contain aloe vera, such as moisturizers and face masks. Dental Health: Aloe vera can be used in various ways to improve dental health. You can use aloe vera tooth gel, which is effective in controlling bacteria that cause cavities. It's less harsh on teeth compared to regular toothpaste, making it a good alternative for people with sensitive teeth. Additionally, mouth rinses containing aloe vera can help reduce gingivitis and plaque accumulation. Digestive Health: Aloe vera juice can be consumed to help with digestive issues. It can be used as a tonic for the digestive system to soothe the stomach and relieve intestinal discomfort. It can also help with constipation by increasing the water content in your intestines, stimulating peristalsis, and helping you pass stool normally. Blood Sugar Management: Aloe vera can be consumed in the form of juice or supplements to help manage blood sugar levels. Nutrient-Rich: Aloe vera juice is packed with nutrients. Interestingly, aloe vera is one of the only plant sources of vitamin B-12, making it a valuable resource for vegetarians and vegans Antioxidant Properties: Aloe vera juice is a rich source of antioxidants, which help fight free radicals. This lowers oxidative stress on your body and reduces the risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Weight Loss: Oral use of aloe is promoted for weight loss, although more research is needed to confirm this benefit. Aloe vera can be consumed in various ways, depending on your preference and the health benefits you're seeking. It’s generally safe to eat the gel inside the aloe vera leaf, as well as the skin. Wash the skin or gel thoroughly to remove traces of latex, which can have unpleasant and potentially harmful side effects. Did you enjoy learning more about the uses and benefits of aloe vera?
