Recently, scientists have made a survey about young adults walking habits.
The survey shows that a quarter of young adults aged between 18 and 24 walk
no more than fifteen minutes a day. Many people think technology development is
keeping them from walking while some young people think they are not willing to
walk if there is nobody to walk with. For some young people, they are too busy
working or studying to walk. The air pollution is another reason why they do not
want to walk.
Based on what is surveyed, experts suggest walking more everyday instead of
taking the car or bus all the time. Walking with friends, classmates or workmates to
school or to work is also encouraged. Moreover, it will be better for people to have
an extra 20-minute walk every day, which is believed to help reduce the risk of many
diseases, including heart disease.
Just remember: the more you walk, the healthier you will be.
