Fad diets pop up everywhere on a daily basis it seems. For every new pop-up fad diet there are thousands who get on the band wagon. So many people feel that they have to follow the newest fad in order to lose weight fast.  It is not good enough to lose weight at a rate of around one to two pounds a week, now-a-days people want to do it super sonic fast. In reality it doesn’t work that way, not if you do it in a healthy manner. The truth is there is no magic bullet, no fast fix for fast weight loss. It is a gradual process that involves a will to change lifestyle and unhealthy habits. Magic Body Wrap reiterates what many other health care professionals recommend-walk for safe,  effective weight loss.  Walking is the safest and most effective form of exercise that will assist you with your weight loss goals.

I did a little research I would like to share with you that I found on the Mayo Clinic website.

Walking not only is beneficial for weight loss, but walking also helps to improve heart health.  It helps to lower the low-density lipoprotein (LDL or otherwise known as bad) cholesterol and raise the high-density lipoprotein (HDL or good) cholesterol levels in the blood. Research studies show an average walk of 30 to 6o minutes each day will decrease the chances of developing heart disease by 40%, as well as lowering cancer risks.

Further, those in the category of needing to lower blood pressure, those who suffer from depression or those who may need to strengthen their immune system can benefit greatly from walking.

Studies also suggest that walking can aid those with breathing or circulatory problems and improve balance and coordination.

Walking has many other benefits as well, such as lowering the risk of having a stroke. Walking can even help those suffering from arthritis and other forms of joint pain. It is also an effective way of maintaining lean muscle.
