Ready to get walking again? Doing so can be crucial for your health.
There is scientific evidence that indicates walking — especially walking outdoors — is powerful medicine for your brain. We've compiled five ways walking can boost your brain health. And for an extra incentive to take a walk, chatting with a doctor might be the solution.
That is the idea behind Walk with a Doc, an international program that AARP Minnesota has recently brought to the Twin Cities. On the third Saturday of each month, anyone can join in a group walk with Nana Wilmot-DeSouza, M.D., at Moir Park in Bloomington.
The walks will move inside at the Mall of America during winter months.
