Last week on Regional Radio, we heard from nationally renowned doctor Jim LaValle about the many benefits of walking.

Walking is an easy way to increase your overall mobility and health but if you want to take the benefits of walking to the next level, Dr. LaValle has a few easy things to do. He first points out,  most people don't get enough magnesium in their diets so finding a magnesium supplement at your local retail store is an easy first step.

Most people also don't get enough water through the course of a day so Dr. LaValle implores everyone to get more water in their systems.

Dr. LaValle points out even a 20-minute brisk provides cardiovascular benefits and reduces diabetes risks. While many may think the 10,000 steps they get in steps throughout is enough, he says we need the consistent movement that walking for a sustained time or distance provides.
