Learning to Love and Get Along with Ourselves and Others

Walk for Your Health

Walking is great for your health. Gabe, a dear college friend, suffered from a bought of depression after incurring a spinal cord injury.  His psychiatrist told him that the best medication for fighting away a case of the blues is to take a W.A.L.K.  Perplexed, I asked Gabe, “What’s a W.A.L.K.”  He gave me a look expressing a mixture of entertainment and indignation, and said, “What does W.A.L.K. spell?  It spells walking, doesn’t it? Walking is better medication than taking pills.”  Although taking anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication can be very useful and even life saving at times, the best medication the doctor can prescribe is a good walk in the woods, or at the very least, a good walk around the block.  Although the pharmaceutical companies won’t gain and the doctors won’t get perks, the patient will benefit immensely.  Whether or not you’re already taking mood enhancing medication, don’t forget to take your W.A.L.K supplement daily, its the most reliable anti-depression and anti-anxiety medication on the market.
