But before following any trend, it is important to know and understand its real benefits, so we talked to mental health specialist VandanaSachdev about this and are sharing the information received from her with you here.

What is the 'Silent walking' trend?

Talking about the 'silent walking' trend was started by TikTok creator Maddy Mao.

In such a situation, Maddy Mao shared her pleasant experience on social media, after which other people also tried it and got its benefits. After this, the trend of 'silent walking' started on social media.

How effective is 'Silent walking'?

Mental health specialist VandanaSachdev says that 'silent walking' is a medium to enjoy ' me time '. Where people spend some time strolling without using mobile or internet. In such a situation, they get full opportunity to think about themselves and also spend some time in solitude with nature.

In this way, even if for a short while, when they are alone, they get freedom from worldly matters, which reduces stress. While freedom from stress proves to be directly beneficial for mental health, it also benefits physical health. Let us understand in detail the mental and physical health benefits of 'silent walking'.

Helpful in getting relief from mental depression

'Silent Walking' works like a lifesaver for a person struggling with all the worries of worldly life. The mental peace achieved during this period proves helpful in relieving the person from depression. Although in such a situation people may have a question that one can sit alone, why walk? So let us tell you that there is a big difference between sitting alone and walking alone for some time.

It is better to take a walk or stroll in solitude than to sit alone in solitude. When you are sitting alone, many things are going on in your mind, whereas when you start walking, you see and feel the surrounding environment. In such a situation, it is better to walk alone for some time than to sit alone. This provides relief from mental stress, which helps in getting rid of insomnia, weakness in memory and other mental problems.

Beneficial for heart health

Apart from mental health, 'silent walking' also proves to be very beneficial for the heart. When you walk with light steps, it increases physical activity and improves blood circulation in the body. Due to better blood circulation, the heart works better and the heart rate also remains controlled. It is worth noting that while heavy exercise has adverse effects on heart health, walking is beneficial for heart health.

If seen in this way, 'silent walking' reduces the risk of heart-related problems as well as high blood pressure. Therefore, you too can take advantage of 'silent walking', provided you can give up the lure of mobile and other gadgets for a while.

We hope that this health-related information will prove useful for you. If you liked this information then do not forget to share it with your friends and acquaintances.
