The return of mall walkers?????

Shouldn't this doctor be a little ashamed?

Published last month in Stroke, a journal of the American Heart Association, the findings have generated widespread interest across the United States and have caused specialists to now rethink their approach in the treatment of stroke patients.

who knew excercise is helpful.

I walk outdoors

where you live. Not sure walking along the Long Island Expressway at peak commute time would automatically be better than walking in a mall. Likewise, I find walking much, much easier to do in arid Colorado than when I lived in über-humid Mississippi. Walking there most day felt like walking underwater.

The dust can get bad and I only walk before the sun comes up. I love walking in our cold.

I wish I could find this great article about urban planning and how access to green spaces was shown to increase neurogenesis, particularly in children. In trying to piece together the causes and differences in educational ability and IQ in urban vs. suburban children, researchers came across an interesting wrinkle that showed living in an environment that did not have trees and parks decreased brain development and elasticity.

Bah, it was a great article, but I can't seem to summon it from google ;/
