There is no better time to go outside and enjoy nature than today. Though we don’t live in the mountains, this doesn’t mean we can’t find a suitable place near our home to hike independently. One of the major benefits of hiking is that it brings almost immediate rewards. Whether you’re trying to lose weight , reduce pressure , clear your head or get out into nature , hiking is the best choice. According to the American Hiking Society , hiking brings a remarkable range of health benefits with comparatively few risks. By regularly using hiking as a way to stay physically active , you can reduce your risk of developing heart disease and a stroke , improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels , control your weight , and even relax your mood. Nowadays with the rapid development of society , most of us spend a lot of time surfing the Internet , watching TV or staying indoors. Hiking encourages you to step away from your desk and step out into nature. You can control the intensity of your workout , so it’s something you can keep doing. In addition , almost all muscles are used when hiking. Try to include your children or grandchildren in your adventures. Hiking with kids is great because children are very curious and want to know about each and every plant and bird you pass. Be prepared for answering their questions, and let their curiosity affect you. Hikes are much more fun when you’re constantly exploring. A growing body of research suggests that hiking has mental benefits as well as physical ones. Hiking is great for helping people think about things and work out problems. Sometimes observing nature can lower stress and allow you to think more clearly, while at the same time activating parts of the brain that aren’t so active in a work setting. Gregory A.Miller, president of the American Hiking Society, says, “Research shows that hiking has a positive effect on relieving the symptoms or stress and anxiety. Being in nature is ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our DNA, and we sometimes forget that.”
