I will stress the importance of morning walk to maintain a fit life. I have nothing against other forms of exercise like running or going to gym or yoga. What I have found that the most simplest way is a morning walk. And preferable way of morning walk should be outside under the blue sky and treadmill should be avoided at all costs.
- Parasites enter our body all the time. By morning walk we "squeeze the places" they can find refuge in. Because our body is pushed to stress, this stress acts to stretch our muscles, joints and tendons and these parasites simply melt away through sweat or urine.
- Our lungs, throats, nose and areas in between also have those "colony of germs". Often I have seen during morning walk our nose keeps running to certain extent and we blow out our noses. This kind of sputum which comes out of our nose liberates the germs and they go out to the bigger world outside. That is one reason to go for morning walk in the "great outdoors" and not use treadmill in gym. Because in treadmill inside a closed space in a gym you cannot "blow your nose". There is just no scope for that.
- During morning walk, there is blood circulation. We know that stagnant water can give rise to worms and germs and larvae and what not. That I have seen during my hostel days at Hyderabad where water was kept in drum but it gave rise to swimming small worms like mini tadpoles. Once I took a bath in that water also without giving importance to the same as water problem was there in the hostel. Then one hostel mate told that these worms come in the water because it is stagnant water. In running water there will not be any worms. And so it is very important that blood circulation happens, which will make our blood no longer remain "stagnant". And parts of the body where the blood does not reach fast reaches now. I will say this "stagnant" position of blood will give rise to a lot of diseases. I have a belief that 90% of diseases can be prevented by regular exercise (walking included). These diseases may consist of diabetes, cancer, Alzheimers disease, dementia, cough cold and fever, etc. Thus this blood circulation early in the morning is required.
- The gym is a man made environment. God and Allah made the "great outdoors", the sky, the sun, the morning light, the colour of the sky, the clouds, the trees, the air we breathe, the earth. Everything is made by God/Allah. Thus we need to enjoy what God has provided us with. We can put a price value on a gym or a gym membership. But we cannot put a price on the boundless beauties of nature which the God Almighty has made. And through morning walk we can get a sample of what God has made for us.
- The morning air is pure. The morning air is fresh. We need to fill our lungs with the freshest air available in the world. Not the AC air of a gym. Also, as the day progresses the air becomes filthier and filthier as traffic around the city goes on increasing. Noise and pollution keeps on increasing. Thus I will not give much importance to "evening walk". If one wants to get real benefit from a walk one must do it in the morning.
Thank you Anup, for giving emphasis on morning walk. I never did morning walk in my life. But after reading your post I am convinced to do it. Keep writing articles like this one.
