Happy Friday!
Today is…Take Your Pants For a Walk Day
#TakeYourPantsForAWalkDay
As it may be a little difficult to actually put your pants on a leash and take them for a walk, today is for taking a walk while wearing pants. In a sense, when you walk while wearing them, you are taking them for a walk. You can’t celebrate this day while wearing a dress, skirt, or shorts. You need to wear pants!
Walking has many health benefits besides just helping you lose weight. When you walk, your brain releases chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin that lift your mood during and after your walk. Walking lowers depression, even more so if the walk is taken outside. One chemical that is released while walking is called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). It helps fight dementia and memory loss and spurs the growth of new brain cells. Walking outside also helps you make sure you get enough vitamin D. Consistent walking can decrease blood pressure and lower the risk of heart attack, lung cancer, and other diseases.
Take Your Pants For a Walk Day is being observed today! It has always been observed annually on July 27th.
Every day we look for the best in Positive News so that you might have a great start on your day. Thank you for taking the time to read, share and support our mission.
