Movement
Daily walks beat occasional intensity. Consistency wins.
Why it matters
Movement isn't just exercise — it's how the body stays mobile, metabolically healthy, and mentally calm. A daily walk after meals improves blood sugar control as much as some medications. NEAT (non-exercise activity) accounts for more daily calorie burn than your workout. Move often, intensely sometimes.
