Just For The Health Of It

Welcome to Just for the Health of It, East Brunswick Public Library's prescription for the best Health and Wellness information around town!

 

Left Foot! Right Foot!

Left Foot! Right Foot!

Walking is healthy for both body and mind.  

Including a walk into your daily or weekly routine has many health benefits and not just for your physical health.  You can try walking meditation to help exercise your body and relax your mind.
 

Here are a few easy tips:

  • Stay focussed on what's in front of you, try not to look around and get distracted.
  • Concentrate on each step, focus on the feeling of your feet making contact with the ground.
  • Repeat a mantra (a specific word or set of words), it can be as easy as counting or use an inspirational phrase. 

Enjoy your time and be proud that you are doing something good for your health!
