Walking <em>10,000 steps a day</em> has long been linked to<u> lowering artery diseases/heart diseases.</u> It is said to<em> regulate one's blood pressure level </em>and <em>cholesterol level.</em> If you keep on walking, the heart becomes tuned to such condition, thus, making it stronger. A strong heart enables easy pumping of blood, thereby lowering the blood pressure.
Walking also helps increase the body's high-density lipoproteins <em>(HDL)</em>. These are considered the <u>"good cholesterols."</u> This cholesterol is responsible for removing surplus cholesterols found in the blood.
