Health Benefits

One way to encourage parents/caregivers to walk students to school is to emphasise benefits for adults.

Along with its benefits to the heart, walking:

improves circulation
helps breathing
combats depression
bolsters the immune system
helps prevent osteoporosis
helps prevent and control diabetes
helps control weight.
