This book looks very interesting due to the self healing aspect. Specifically, we wish to test whether walking faster, further, or more frequently provides the greatest benefits in terms of reducing cancer risks and heart disease. This cohort will constitute the largest national study of physical activity and health. To date we have received responses from 35,000 walkers, primarily through the mailing of our questionnaire to Walking Magazine subscribers. In order to achieve a sufficient sample size for statistically valid tests of the health benefits of walking we need to increase the number of walkers by an additional 30,000.
Participation involves completing a one page, double sided questionnaire.
For your convenience we will also provide a prepaid return postage envelope. The questionnaire has been approved by the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects at the University of California. After losing 50 lbs., I hit a plateau. I began walking again and have lost another 25 lbs. This has taken me 2 years and at the age of 51 have never felt better.
