I recently participated in an online event featuring integrative medicine doctor Dr. Andrew Weil and Australian podiatrist Phillip Vasyli. The session, called “Walking Your Way to Optimum Health,” discussed the importance of walking, keeping your feet healthy, and looked at Dr. Weil ‘s new line of integrative footwear. When asked how he stays in shape, Dr. Weil said that in his twenties he ran, in his thirties and forties he cycled, and now he swims and walks everyday. When he is on the road and can’t swim, he makes

it a priority to go walking. Dr. Weil talked about the benefits of walking, saying that it’s the perfect exercise because it’s what we were were designed to do. Since walking is something we can do indoors, outdoors, or with friends, and because it’s one of the safest exercises - making injury rates very low - Dr. Weil believes it’s an essential exercise to incorporate into our lifestyles. Find out what else I learned about Dr. Weil.
