Walk Together: Save a Moment of Connection — Healthy Nurse Healthy Nation® Snap & Steps: Move, Capture, Inspire Challenge, sponsored by Humana — Day 5
Day 5 — Walk With Someone and Snap the Social Bond
The only thing better than walking for your wellness is walking with a friend! It’s the perfect social activity that improves your physical, mental, and emotional health — all at the same time.
Socializing is more than just fun. It stimulates different parts of your brain, keeping your memory and thinking skills sharp. Spending time with others also reduces your risk of conditions like heart disease, arthritis, and depression, which are all exacerbated by loneliness.
Your Action for This Weekend
Grab a friend, family member, or coworker for a fun stroll. Memorialize the event with a snap of your feet together.
If you don’t have another human available, a furry friend counts, too! Dogs need the same mental and physical stimulation for their health. And, walking together strengthens your bond.
Bonus Action: Start a weekly walking group at work. It’s a great, healthy team-bonding activity.
