Diabetes Australia Walk to Work Day Friday 14 November 2014 Now in its 17th year, Diabetes Australia Walk to Work Day, on Friday 14 November 2014, is an annual event which helps employers and employees to build regular walking into their daily routine. • Adding walking to your daily routine is an easy change that can make a big difference to your long-term health. • Walking is one of the easiest forms of exercise to build into your busy daily life, and a relatively simple approach to shed those excess kilos. • People who walk to work are generally healthier, more productive, and are less likely to be absent or take sick leave. • Walking helps combat obesity, prevent disease, improve mental health, and enhance general well-being. • Regular walking reduces your risk of stroke, heart diseases and type 2 diabetes. • Walking is good exercise for people of all ages. • You can walk alone or in a group, at any time of day, and in most types of weather.
