Jean Béliveau's journey of walking around the world highlights the benefits of walking. Even modest increases in daily walking can significantly improve health by enhancing mood, reducing anxiety, and lowering stress hormones. Over time, walking strengthens muscles, improves cardiovascular efficiency, and increases bone density, reducing risks of heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis. Walking aids in weight management and lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes, cancers, and dementia. It is accessible, requires no equipment, and can be integrated into daily routines, especially in walkable neighborhoods, which also benefit from reduced vehicle reliance and improved air quality. However, many areas lack safe walking spaces due to urban planning focused on cars. Initiatives like Vancouver's Comox-Helmcken Greenway show how urban spaces can be transformed to encourage walking, leading to increased exercise and reduced emissions. Simple community efforts, such as adding crosswalks, can also enhance walkability.
