walking one mile every day
The choice that may have an impact on your life to move you toward a higher state of wellness is:
- walking one mile every day.
In order to determine which choice may have an impact on your life to move you toward a higher state of wellness, we need to consider the options provided and analyze their potential effects on your health.
First, let's examine the choice of sleeping for only 2 hours every night. Lack of sleep can have many negative effects on your health, including decreased cognitive function, weakened immune system, and increased risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Therefore, this choice is unlikely to move you toward a higher state of wellness.
Next, let's consider the choice of drinking several glasses of soda every day. Consuming excessive amounts of soda has been linked to various health problems including weight gain, tooth decay, and an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease. Therefore, this choice is also unlikely to promote higher wellness.
Moving on, we have the choice of riding the elevator to the second floor every day. While this choice may be convenient, it does not provide the physical activity necessary for overall health and wellness. In the long run, avoiding physical activity can lead to weight gain, muscle weakness, and increased risk of chronic diseases. Therefore, this choice is also unlikely to move you toward a higher state of wellness.
Lastly, we have the choice of walking one mile every day. Regular physical activity, such as walking, has numerous benefits for your physical and mental health. It helps control weight, improves cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles and bones, reduces stress, and enhances mood. Therefore, choosing to walk one mile every day is a positive choice that can move you toward a higher state of wellness.
Based on the analysis of the options, the correct choice that may have an impact on your life to move you toward a higher state of wellness would be "walking one mile every day."
