Put the spring in your step and protect against dehydration

A quiet walk in the morning or after dinner, a quick walk to achieve your cardiovascular goal during the day, explore a city and its charms on foot (and many would say this is the best way to discover a place), or a few Trekking vacations, whatever is on your itinerary, this is what your body needs to make sure your steps do not falter.

Walking to exercise

Walk no slower than 10 minutes per km, if you walk for cardiovascular exercise. Start with 30 minutes a day for 4 days a week, and slowly increase this to 6-7 days a week. Start with 3 km in 30 minutes and add 10 minutes to the walking time each week, until you reach the 60-minute goal. The benefits include lower resting heart rate and blood pressure, toned legs, better sleep, better digestion and more energy during the day.
Bring a bottle of water on the walk in hot weather.

Avoid sports drinks, as they are loaded with sugar.

Drinking nimbu paani with salt after the walk will help replenish and rehydrate.

Avoid walking after a heavy meal. A light snack before starting, or tea or coffee is fine.
After the walk, eat something with protein: eggs, paneer and a small amount of carbohydrates, such as a roti. Or take a protein shake.

Extended exercise

If you embark on a long walk, a walk or a walk through a city or town, it is important to protect yourself from dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and weakness.

Bring some whey or a bottle of water to which some chia seeds or sweet basil seeds have been added, to ensure some protein intake along with hydration.
