A word from your doctor
I don't want to come over as the 'nanny state gone mad!' - but really, why don't people walk more?
Walking cures depression; it cures rage; it cures mad thinking - what's not to like?
Cabinet ministers go mad because they don't walk anywhere. They spend their life hopping from one limousine to another, taking in only a plane and three pronouncements in between.
But then no one else walks either. Instead, they'll wait at a bus stop for ten minutes, for a bus to take them 300 yards down the road. I mean, what's that about?
The body was meant to be used; instead, it just gets bored. It was designed to get tired, ache and breathless; instead, it has to make its own fun, inventing psychological problems. Ah! Attention at last!
I know this is a rant, but please don't walk away. No, on second thoughts, do. Walk away! In fact break into a jog for a while. You'll sleep better. And find yourself surprisingly happy.
