Introduction
Walking is a simple yet powerful form of exercise that can have significant benefits for managing and even reversing conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.

Understanding Diabetes and Hypertension
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, resulting from the body’s inability to produce or effectively use insulin. It can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure if left unmanaged.
What is Hypertension?
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently high. Untreated hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.
