JAKARTA - Walking is one of the simplest and most effective forms of exercise. This activity can help prevent various cardiovascular factors such as high blood pressure, excess weight, a high body mass index (IMT), to improve mood.

Orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist from Mumbai, India, Dr. Manan Vora, revealed that there are tremendous benefits from each step of foot and every minute.

"Walking is a sport that is cheap, accessible, and simple that can be done by almost everyone, regardless of geographical location, age, or socio-economic status," Vora said as quoted by the Times of India, on Monday, September 22, 2025.

Manan Vora then shared a minute after minute description of how the body experienced positive changes during an hour of walking. With one minute of walking, the flow of blood can be smoother.

"With just one minute of walking can smooth the flow of blood," he said.

Then with 5 minutes running, the benefits will soar which will make a person have a better mood because endorphins are starting to flow. In 10 minutes of walking, the body begins to reduce cortisols or stress-related hormones.

At 30 minutes of walking, it can divert the body to the fat burning method, because the body will take advantage of fat reserves. Those who are undergoing weight loss can enter a 30-minute walking routine every day.

If it runs for 45 minutes, it can reduce excessive thoughts. Long-distance walking can calm the mind and help a person be free from repeated thoughts.

Then for those who reach walking for 60 minutes, they will benefit more. Such as increasing dopamine, a brain neurotransmitter that provides a sense of comfort.

"Your brain gives dopamine as a gift," continued Vora.

Meanwhile, several studies have also shown that walking reduces pain due to fire. Walking eight to nine kilometers a week can even prevent artificial formation from the start.
