4 April this year is national walk during your work day. According to the website, a daily 30 minute walk can reduce symptoms of depression with 36%. Even better to do it outside, in nature, as plants/trees emit chemicals that positively affect our health. It is more effective to take regular breaks to get up, than to try to compensate by doing sports an hour after work. So get up regularly and keep healthy, and why not enjoy nature at the same time.
At our UT campus there are a lot of walking paths around the ponds and buildings. You can combine your walk with a trip to the local supermarket or to someone in another building. The campus is also located next to a park and to a forested area, so the choice is yours. On days with terrible weather, you can even walk around inside through most of the buildings as many are connected through raised passages. And of course, you can check out the progress at the LILa site while you are walking around outside East of the Horst building. Why not try the sustainability walk?
