"Scottish walk", a habit with health benefits

"Scottish walking" is a habit that involves a regular walk in nature, often at a leisurely and steady pace, a very widespread habit in countries like Scotland.

It is not just physical walking, but a well-being ritual that combines movement with contact with nature.

Walking helps the body produce more serotonin, the feel-good hormone. Exposure to natural light further enhances this effect. Gentle movement improves brain function and a sense of calm.

The result: You will feel calmer, more positive, and more energized.

How it helps reduce stress:

This type of walking reduces levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. The rhythm of walking and breathing creates a relaxing effect and helps to remove negative thoughts. It is generally known as a "natural therapy" against anxiety.

How long should the walk last?

Even 20-30 minutes a day is enough for benefits. Consistency is more important than intensity. A small habit, but with a big impact on well-being. /CNA
