Silent Walk Benefits: Everyone knows that walking daily is beneficial for health. To stay healthy, everyone should walk at least 30 minutes in the morning, but some people look for a group of friends to walk with. If they do not find a companion, they walk with earphones or headphones in their ears while listening to music or they walk while talking to family members or relatives on the phone so as not to waste their walking time. But let us tell you that this is not the right way to walk at all. You will be surprised to know that despite working hard, your body is not getting its full benefit.
Let us tell you that silent walking, which has recently come into the news again through TikTok trend, is the right way to walk. According to health experts, walking silently is a panacea for health. In yoga, walking silently in solitude is considered a great exercise and a method of connecting with nature and meditation.
What is a silent walk?
Silent walk means walking slowly while staying calm. This is the best way to walk. Silent walking means walking quietly in solitude without talking on headphones, earphones or on the phone, or getting involved in a group of friends. This brings us closer to nature and we understand ourselves better.
Dr. Balmukund Shastri, a well-known yoga expert of the country , says that walking is a complete exercise. One should try to walk slowly and silently in the morning. The reason for this is that there are no ultra violet rays in the morning, oxygen is available in good quantity and the body also gets vitamin D from the mild sunlight. If you are not able to walk in the morning, then you should walk in the evening after sunset.
Mental and neurological disorders are cured
If we talk about the way of walking, then silent walking gives the body all the benefits of walking. If you are walking silently without gossiping, headphones, earphones or talking, then first of all your mind remains absolutely calm. According to yoga, your life is with you. You are feeling the walk, yourself, thinking about yourself. Apart from this, a lot of improvement is seen in all types of mental diseases, mental disorders or neurological diseases.
Energy increases in the body
Dr. Balmukund says that our body is made up of the five elements sky, air, fire, water and earth but due to our busy schedule we are getting away from them. When we are walking alone, our eyes go to all these things present around us, we are looking at the trees, plants, soil, water around us and we develop attachment towards them and in this way we are connecting with nature and by looking at them our body starts getting the elements of the five elements. Like when we look at the sun, we get the fire element and the body starts becoming a powerhouse of energy.
Heart remains healthy
Silent walking is beneficial for the heart. It has been seen that many people have had heart attacks while walking but all of them were those who were either running fast on the treadmill or doing heavy exercise. When the heart was not working properly but pressure was being applied on it. Due to this the heart is unable to understand whether to walk slowly or fast and the chances of stroke increase. But if you walk slowly and silently then the heart works well. Blood pressure does not become high. Due to proper oxygenation the lungs remain healthy. Polluted air comes out completely. Due to this if vata, pitta and kapha are increased then they are reduced and the body remains healthy.
