The Simple Power of Daily Walks 🚶‍♂️🌿

As someone who values well-being and vitality, you're likely always on the lookout for simple, effective ways to boost your health and enhance your quality of life, AND LOSE FAT.

That's why we wanted to share a time-honoured activity that is not only incredibly accessible but also packed with numerous health benefits — walking for at least 30 minutes daily.

Stay until the end to see the steps you need to turn walking into your daily fat burning routine.

Why Walk? Let's Dive into the Benefits:

1. Heart Health Hero: Regular walking increases the heart rate, improves circulation, and can help to lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. It's a gentle yet powerful way to strengthen your heart muscle.
2. Weight Management Partner: Walking can assist in maintaining a healthy weight or contributing to weight loss when combined with a balanced diet. It increases metabolism by burning extra calories and helps in toning muscles.
3. Mood Booster: Taking a brisk walk can lead to the release of endorphins, the natural mood elevators in your brain. Staying active can also reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, contributing to a brighter, more positive outlook on life.
4. Energy Elevator: It might seem counterintuitive, but expending energy on a walk can actually leave you feeling more energized. Walking boosts circulation and increases oxygen supply to every cell in your body, helping you feel more alert and alive.
5. Sleeper's Dream: Regular walkers often enjoy better sleep patterns. Night-time becomes more restful and rejuvenating, as walking can help to regularize your natural sleep cycles.
6. Immune Function Fighter: Walking can boost your immune system and lower the risk of developing illnesses such as the common cold or the flu. It's a natural defence booster!
7. Cognitive Clarity: Walking isn't just good for the body; it's great for the brain. Research has shown that it can improve cognitive function, slow down the aging process of the brain, and even improve memory.

The Secret Sauce

Now I promised you the secret formula for sticking around to the end, so here it is.

If you’re someone that would say to me “Sally, I’ve been training every morning, fasted, only black coffee for energy, pushing myself for 1 hour every session, 5 days a week for the last 3 months and I haven’t lost a single kilo, how is this possible, like I’m not even eating?!”, then this is for you.

You may not be eating in your fasted training sessions, but your body sure is. It’s just eating YOU. What happens when you don’t have any sugar in your bloodstream, and you get to the gym to train, you’ll be out of energy after 20 minutes.

Your body only has a 20min reserve of glycogen. What happens when that’s used up? Your body needs energy now!

It takes 3 minutes to liquify lean muscle, and it takes 5 HOURS to turn fat into energy. So, where do you think your body is getting energy?

Your body is burning your own lean muscle.

What happens in this scenario is, you’re giving it your all on the treadmill on an empty stomach, you’re actually digesting your own lean muscle. 

Then that night, you’re building it back up. And then the next day you work out, then you build it back again that night, and this cycle continues forever.

So what’s the solution? What do I do? How will daily walks help?

Expert Human Biologist, Gary Brecka, coined a solution which he calls the 30-30-30 rule.

• 30g of protein must be consumed
• Within 30 minutes of waking up, followed by
• 30 minutes of steady state cardio, i.e. walking (heart rate no higher than 135bpm)

"Following 30-30-30 will strip fat off your body faster than anything I have ever seen in my life. Do this for a month and watch your body fat eviscerate!" - Gary Brecka

I would love to see the results you get from this. Feel free to send before and after pics after doing this every day for a month to info@mediklinpharmacy.co.za. Let's build a fitter community together!
