Step Into Wellness: A Simple 4-Week Plan
April is Move More Month. What better time to embark on a journey toward greater health and vitality? And it can all start with a single step—literally!
Regular walking offers a treasure trove of benefits for both the mind and body. To make things simple, we’ve put together a 4-week walking plan that you can use to start increasing your movement in April and reap more of the benefits, like:
Reduced Stress: Walking triggers the release of endorphins that can lift your mood and promote a greater sense of calm.Enhanced Sleep Quality: Regular walking is linked to better sleep and decreased insomnia with as little as 10 minutes of walking per day.
Improved Digestion: A walk after a meal can aid digestion and reduce bloating.
Increased Longevity: Walking 30 minutes per day is associated with an extended lifespan.
Joint Health: Regular walking alleviates joint pain and stiffness by lubricating joints and strengthening surrounding muscles.
Heart health: Walking strengthens the heart muscle, lowers blood pressure, and helps keep cholesterol levels in a healthy range.

The Fruit that Keeps on Giving
Lemons are among the world’s most popular citrus fruits.
They offer not only a delicious and refreshing flavor but also pack a nutritional punch. Evidence suggests that certain natural compounds found in lemons may help lower blood pressure and reduce blood sugar spikes. Plus, they’re rich in immune system-supporting vitamin C.
How to use them: Try a squeeze of lemon in your soup, use it to make a homemade salad dressing, or top some fish or chicken with lemon slices before popping in the oven.
