The wonders of walking

As far back as antiquity, the ancient Greeks knew the benefits of walking in nature. In the modern day, journalist Bernice Nikijuluw confirms that taking a stroll outside is indeed good for body and mind.

I was sitting in the car next to my new love, an Englishman with whom I had gone to Yorkshire, UK, for the weekend. I wondered if we could stop to explore the beautiful landscape on foot. We’d left London early that morning and had been driving for at least an hour through these lush green hills, dotted with dry stone walls and lots of sheep. I suggested a walk, and my beloved responded with amazement. It had not occurred to him at all.
