Make you feel good, give you more energy, reduce stress, and help you sleep better. Walking helps keep you heart strong, can help reduce blood pressure, and can help manage your weight, diabetes and osteoporosis .  Environmental psychologists now rate the positive benefits of " Biophilia Effect" where connecting with nature  is known to lessen the stresses and strains of everyday life.
