it's crazy how something seemingly minor, the necessity to walk some real distance for meeting daily needs, has such a wide range of benefits. Unconsciously, it makes you eat better and less, otherwise the walking would be very uncomfortable. It also makes you care about your immediate environment more, because you experience it a lot more directly.

When you don't have that, it's an uphill battle. You have to carve out dedicated time to exercise, and you have to be very conscious of your diet.

Walking makes for a healthier life, it really does, rather than only the healthy opting in for walking.

Every time I’m in Europe I’m just delighted at how much I walk without having to use any other form of transport. Virtually impossible at home (LA).
I miss it after moving back here (midwest).
