Mejore su salud caminando
(Family Features) Una caminata no solo es buena para el cuerpo, sino también para el alma. La actividad física, como caminar, es una de las mejores formas de reducir el estrés y mejorar su estado de ánimo. Sin embargo, los informes revelan que las tasas de caminatas están disminuyendo constantemente en los Estados Unidos.
En promedio, uno de cada cuatro adultos estadounidenses permanece sentado durante más de ocho horas al día, según la investigación de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC). Esto puede tener consecuencias negativas para la salud física y mental. El ejercicio regular mejora el estado de ánimo, aumenta la energía e incluso puede ayudarle a dormir mejor. Estar activo es una de las mejores maneras de mantener la mente y el cuerpo sanos.
Tome esta recomendación de la American Heart Association (la Asociación Americana del Corazón), que ha trabajado durante décadas para promover políticas y estrategias que faciliten que las comunidades estén y se mantengan activas. Un ejemplo es el Día Nacional para Caminar, que lo estableció la organización para incentivar a las personas a moverse más a lo largo del día. para que puedan pensar, dormir, vivir y sentirse mejor.
De hecho, moverse más puede beneficiar a su cuerpo y a su mente de numerosas maneras, como por ejemplo las siguientes:
Reducir el riesgo de sufrir enfermedades. Realizar la cantidad recomendada de actividad física (al menos 150 minutos de actividad moderada, 75 minutos de actividad intensa o una combinación de esas actividades por semana) está relacionado con un menor riesgo de sufrir enfermedades, tener huesos y músculos más fuertes, una mejor salud mental y función cognitiva, y menor riesgo de depresión, según el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de los EE. UU.
Estar más al sol. El ejercicio al aire libre es un manera fácil de mantenerse en movimiento y estar al sol, lo que puede mejorar el estado de ánimo, aumentar la inmunidad y ayudarle a obtener un poco de vitamina D. Pasar tiempo al aire libre es una opción que no tiene costo y se ha demostrado que reduce el estrés, promueve el sentido de pertenencia y mejora el estado de ánimo.
Mejorar la función cognitiva y mental. La actividad física mantiene la mente alerta ahora y en el futuro. Los estudios muestran que niveles más altos de condición física están relacionados con una mejor atención, aprendizaje, memoria de trabajo y resolución de problemas. Es más, un estudio publicado en el “British Journal of Sports Medicine” demuestra que las personas que realizan la cantidad recomendada de actividad física tienen menos probabilidades de desarrollar depresión.
Vivir una vida más larga. La esperanza de vida saludable puede verse afectada positivamente por el aumento de la actividad. Según una investigación publicada en el “American Journal of Epidemiology”, cambiar solo 30 minutos de estar sentado por actividad física de baja intensidad reducía el riesgo de muerte en un 17 %.
Manténgase en movimiento para reducir el estrés y mejorar su salud. Amplía la información en heart.org/movemore.
Inspírese para mantenerse en movimiento
Un poco de creatividad puede ser de gran ayuda para que su caminata sea más divertida. Es posible que piense que caminar es una actividad en solitario, pero hacerlo con compañía la hace aún más placentera. Pida a compañeros de trabajo, amigos o familiares que le acompañen.
Una caminata es una excusa perfecta para tomar un descanso después de un largo día sentado en el escritorio. Si trabaja de forma remota, realice una conferencia telefónica mientras se mueve o considere que la caminata es su recompensa por completar un proyecto.
Utilice su caminata como una oportunidad para escuchar un nuevo audiolibro sin culpa o cree una lista de reproducción con su música favorita para salir a caminar.
Experimente con recorridos alternativas. Intente tomar nuevas rutas para hacer sus caminatas más interesantes. Esto también le ayuda a evitar que se aburra si va por el mismo camino de siempre.
Si hay algo más que puede incentivarle a mantenerse en movimiento es sin dudas una mascota. Su mascota puede ayudarle a ponerse en forma. Quienes tienen un perro tienen más probabilidades de alcanzar sus objetivos de acondicionamiento físico respecto de aquellos que no lo tienen. De hecho, según el “Journal of Physical Activity & Health”, las personas que tienen perros tienen un 34 % más de probabilidades de caminar 150 minutos a la semana respecto de quienes no tienen un perro. Las mascotas también pueden ayudar a reducir el estrés, la presión arterial, el colesterol y el azúcar en sangre y a aumentar su felicidad y bienestar general.

AUSTIN, Texas. /PRNewswire/ — Love.Life, an integrated health and wellness company, announces the opening of its flagship holistic health and wellness club in Los Angeles at 740 S. Pacific Coast Highway in Plaza El Segundo. Co-created by Whole Foods Market visionary John Mackey, Love.Life offers a new approach to healthcare that empowers individuals to take ownership of their health potential and live longer, better and more vibrant lives.
Health and Wellness
Bridging the gaps in today’s fragmented healthcare system, Love.Life unites the power of functional medical care, nourishing food, cutting-edge fitness and precision wellness therapies under one roof to promote healing, optimization and community. At the new 45,000 square-foot wellness destination, Love.Life offers the testing, treatments and tracking to transform every dimension of an individual’s health. With expert practitioners spanning 20+ disciplines onsite, the offerings reflect the “best of” Eastern and Western modalities and emerging science. Love.Life offers three annual membership options and operates an onsite restaurant that is open to the public.
“With Love.Life, we think the new future of health is about highly personalized care that is focused on the mind, body and spirit. We want to transform the way people experience healthcare and provide an alternative to a fragmented system that is primarily focused on managing symptoms instead of improving health,” said John Mackey, CEO and co-creator, Love.Life. “Our goal is for people to look forward to seeing their doctor and to be active, informed participants in their personal health journey. Our members feel empowered because we’re providing the clarity, care team, and onsite resources they need to achieve health transformations and feel amazing.”
Love.Life’s annual medical membership, Optimize, is the new future of health. It reimagines the primary care experience and features five 1:1 physician meetings, individualized health coaching, access to experts in 20+ disciplines, a body composition assessment and bone mineral density test, repeated advanced bloodwork measuring 120+ biomarkers and access to Love.Life’s fitness and recovery services. Additional specialized testing tailored to support longevity, high performance and healing of chronic health conditions will be prescribed based on the individual’s goals and care program track. This can include VO2 max, continuous glucose monitoring, microbiome, musculoskeletal assessment and genetic testing.
A Fitness + Recovery membership is also available, which includes access to a state-of-the-art fitness facility, hot and cold recovery therapies, separate yoga and Pilates studios, a meditation area and three pickleball courts. For those seeking elite white-glove care, the Love.Life Concierge membership offers unlimited physician visits, full access to the company’s expansive range of 25+ precision tests, priority access to pickleball and the range of offerings available through fitness and recovery.
Members will also have access to Love.Life’s wellness offerings with evidence-based treatments to boost energy, improve sleep and calm the sympathetic nervous system. Offerings include hyperbaric oxygen therapy, IV treatments, cryotherapy, red light therapy and more.
“The beauty of Love.Life is we have taken the very best of medicine, nutrition, and wellness and created a truly holistic experience centered around the individual,” said Dr. Anna Emanuel, lead integrative physician, Love.Life. “And it’s all in one place. All of the doctors, wellness practitioners, and even fitness and nutrition teams work together to support the member in reaching their personal goals.”
Love.Life’s groundbreaking assessments are the most comprehensive in the market and the team dives deep with members to evaluate and optimize five core markers:
- Physical Health
- Cellular Health
- Gut + Nutrient Health
- Genetic Predisposition
- Social + Spiritual Health
Advanced lab panels measure more than 120+ biomarkers evaluating inflammation, micronutrients, and immune, metabolic, cardiovascular and hormone health to help establish a member’s true baseline health. Then, the Love.Life team provides a personalized and actionable treatment plan reviewed with the member’s multidisciplinary care team that arms individuals with the tools, resources and support necessary to thrive and reach personal goals. The plan is easy to access using the Love.Life app, which aggregates and tracks a member’s health data, including bloodwork, biomarkers and 20+ data points from wearables and physical assessments.
“Competitors offer components of the total Love.Life offering, but no one is offering the breadth of our services combined with the community support that’s designed for lasting change,” said Betsy Foster, co-creator and president, Love.Life. “Everyone’s health journey is different, and our goal is to meet people where they are on that journey. We’re here to be their trusted long-term partner in health.”
Love.Life was co-founded by former Whole Foods Market CEO and co-founder, John Mackey, Walter Robb, and Betsy Foster (also former execs of WFM), who believe in a new healthcare paradigm that empowers individuals to proactively improve their health by focusing on the root causes of chronic diseases and holistic solutions that optimize overall health and well-being.
