Use stairs instead of elevators. Park centrally and walk to shops as you run errands. Do not let your car idle while waiting to pick up kids.
Walking can help in at least two ways:
It helps the environment by reducing poluting impacts
It helps your physical and mental health
Improve your cardiovascular health and function
Increase your aerobic capacity
Improve blood pressure
Control your blood sugar and reduce your risk of diabetes
Increase your metabolism
Maintain your weight
If you can walk - walk! Feel good about yourself.
Let us Pray
Dear God, may the Laudato Sí Advent Calendar keep me aware, day-by-day during this special season and long into the future, that there is nobility in the duty to care for creation through little daily actions. Amen.
