(KUTV) During the month of February, we have telling you the importance of good heart health. Experts say you should be exercising regularly to help reduce your risk of developing heart disease and even cancer. For example, a 20 minute walk will help keep you healthy as long as you are also eating right. If you need some motivation to go on that 20 minute walk, then maybe you need a walking buddy. Just be sure to grab a leash. Studies show that walking a dog can help reduce your blood pressure and stress. You can use the time with your four-legged friend to take a time out from life. Carl Arky, communications director for the Humane Society of Utah says, even if it is the same walk that you take, there are new smells and new things to see. There may be a bird over there, a squirrel over there and it stimulates them. You will walk further than you ever thought you would and you would not even notice.If you dont have time or the resources to own a dog, you can walk dogs for free. Animal shelters across the state are always looking for volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering or adopting an animal, we have listed the information for some of the animal shelters here in the state.
