What exercise is safe for your feet and good for your overall health?
Almost all forms of exercise are good for your health. The benefits include improved circulation, control of body weight, and overall enhancement of general health.
So, is running or walking better for you? It is true that running puts 3 to 4 times the force through your feet than walking. And this does increase the chance of developing problems within the feet. But there are many people who continue running well into later life, with little or no major foot problems.
So the bottom line is that whether running or walking, you are making a positive choice for your health.
