I found this neat Hiking Philosophy list:

  1. Hiking builds up your immune system and helps make you more resistant
  2. to disease.
  3. Reduces stress – your cares drop away like autumn leaves [John Muir]
  4. Cures many forms of Arthritis
  5. Promotes good sleep and appetite
  6. Keeps weight down [good for the cardio-vascular system]
  7. Keeps Diabetes under control
  8. Reduces Urinary Frequency thru partial dehydration
  9. Helps prevent Strokes and Heart Attacks if done on a regular basis
  10. Hiking promotes friendship and builds up lasting relationships
  11. Fruit, vegetables, Vitamin E, Calcium, Fiber and Beta Carotene are antioxidants which help fight Cancer and Cholesterol.
  12. Hiking is good for almost anything except a sprained or broken leg [joke]
