Trying to juggle life and health leads us to constantly climb mountains of information. With influencers, trends, wavering “scientific” evidence, macros, micros, caloric deficits, protein deficiencies, 10k step goals, and much more, it’s no wonder many of us drop it entirely, too exhausted to find what works. At Ellovi we are always looking to improve our health and quality of life, with our skin only one part of that big picture. 

Post-Covid era times have nourished some less than ideal habits. We are able to do most things from a sedentary position, causing all sorts of problems that are, at times, unnoticeable. As a result of technology and the drive toward convenience, our access to simple and healthy behaviors has decreased significantly.

Working walking and movement into daily routines makes for an easy way to gain innumerable benefits. Let’s break down the many benefits of this simple health strategy.

🌿 Skin Benefits:

• Improved Circulation & Glow – Blood flow increases allowing oxygen and nutrients to be delivered to skin cells efficiently for repair and improved appearance
• Reduced Inflammation – Regular movement can lower systemic inflammation, which helps with acne, redness, and conditions such as eczema
• Collagen Support – Better circulation boosts collagen, keeping skin firm and youthful
• Sweat Detoxification – Mild sweating can help purge toxins and unclog pores for clearer skin
• Stress Reduction – Cortisol (the stress hormone) is reduced protecting against acne and premature aging

🌿 Body Benefits:

• Heart Health – Improves cardiovascular function, lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart disease
• Weight Management – Supports metabolism, balances glucose spikes, burns calories
• Joint & Bone Strength – Strengthens bones and lubricates joints, reducing arthritis risk.
• Improved Digestion – A short walk after meals can aid digestion, preventing bloating and discomfort.
• Immune Boosting – Moderate physical activity enhances immune function, making the body more resilient to illness.

🌿 Mind Benefits

• Mood Enhancement – Releases endorphins and serotonin, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression
• Mental Clarity & Creativity – Walking, especially in nature, improves focus and inspires creative thinking, creating an interconnected feeling with the environment
• Reduces Stress & Cortisol – Lowers stress hormones, promoting overall mental and physical well-being
• Better Sleep Quality – Helps regulate circadian rhythm, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep
• Boosts Energy & Fights Fatigue – Enhances oxygen flow and reduces mental sluggishness

Bonus tip! Walking with a friend or loved one creates space for social connection to share and support one another. As conversations proceed, the effort it takes to walk is less and less noticeable, making for the easiest exercise regimen that can be done.

Take a walk and watch the benefits roll in, rosy-cheeked and glowing.
