Enzymes are molecules essential for life and play a crucial role in numerous biological processes. However, it is important to clarify some concepts to have a more precise vision.
• What are enzymes? They are specialized proteins that act as biological catalysts, that is, they accelerate the chemical reactions that occur in our body without altering themselves.
• How are they produced? Enzymes are encoded by our genes and are synthesized inside cells.
• What are they for? Enzymes are involved in a wide variety of processes, from food digestion to energy production, growth and tissue repair.
Enzymes and youth
While it is true that enzymes are essential for maintaining a healthy and youthful body, they are not the “fountain of youth” in and of themselves. Good health depends on multiple factors, such as genetics, nutrition, exercise (daily walking) and general lifestyle. However, maintaining optimal enzyme activity contributes to healthy aging.
Colloquially, I would say that they are our perfect friends, since in almost all our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual activities we ask them to accompany us. And this is true, very true because there is no action, no matter how small, in which one of them does not appear in action.
Enzymes in our daily lives
It is correct to say that enzymes are present in almost all the activities of our body. For example:
• Digestion: They break down food into nutrients that our body can absorb.
• Respiration: They facilitate the obtaining of energy from oxygen.
• Reproduction: They participate in cell division and the formation of new tissues.
• Nervous system: They are involved in the transmission of nervous impulses.
The most important enzymes and their functions
The list of enzymes is very extensive. Below I present some of the most important ones:
1. Amylase: Breaks down starch.
2. Lipase: Breaks down fats.
3. Protease: Breaks down proteins.
4. Lactase: Breaks down lactose (milk sugar).
5. ATP synthase: Produces ATP, the cell’s energy molecule.
10. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase: Participates in the production of NADPH, an essential cofactor for many biochemical reactions.
11. Acetylcholinesterase: Degrades acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter.
12. Pyruvate dehydrogenase: Converts pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, a key molecule in energy metabolism.
13. Cytochrome oxidase: Participates in the electron transport chain.
14. Urease: Breaks down urea.
15. Trypsin: A protease found in the pancreas.
16. Chymotrypsin: Another pancreatic protease.
17. Pepsin: A protease found in the stomach.
18. Lactate dehydrogenase: Converts pyruvate to lactate.
19. Glycogen phosphorylase: Breaks down glycogen.
20. Glucose-6-phosphatase: Releases glucose from glucose-6-phosphate.
Walking and enzymes: a beneficial relationship
The relationship between walking and enzymes is complex and multifactorial. On the one hand, physical exercise stimulates the production of certain enzymes, such as those involved in energy production and muscle repair. On the other hand, good enzymatic activity facilitates the use of nutrients obtained through diet and improves physical performance.
Can walking be bad for enzymes?
In general, moderate exercise is beneficial for health and should not have negative effects on enzyme activity. However, excessive or poorly planned exercise can cause oxidative stress and cellular damage, which could negatively affect some enzymes.
Recommendation: Walking/Enzymes
To make the most of the benefits of walking and maintain good enzymatic activity, it is recommended to do the following:
• Walk regularly: Walk at least 30 minutes a day, at a moderate pace.
• Combine exercise with a balanced diet: Eat a variety of foods rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which are essential for enzyme production.
• Listen to your body: If you feel pain or discomfort, reduce the intensity or duration of the walk.
• Consult a professional: If you have any questions or medical conditions, consult your doctor or a personal trainer.
Enzymes are molecules essential for life and play a crucial role in numerous biological processes. Physical exercise, such as walking, helps maintain good enzyme activity and improves our overall health. However, it is important to remember that healthy living is the result of multiple factors, and enzymes are just one piece of the puzzle.
Let’s continue to accompany ourselves with our friends, enzymes, by going for a walk every day.
A connection between movement, energy, and consciousness
Walking is not just about moving the body. It is also about mobilizing energies. Human beings don’t just move on the earth; when we walk, we activate a complex system of internal vibrations, emotions, thoughts, and energy flows. Among these systems, the Chakras (Chacras) stand out: subtle energy centers distributed throughout the body, which play an essential role in our physical, mental and spiritual balance.
The word chakra comes from Sanskrit and means “wheel” or “disc.” It refers to energy centers that spin like whirlpools, distributing vital energy (prana) throughout the body. Although there are many minor chakras, traditionally seven major chakras are recognized, aligned from the base of the spine to the crown (center of the head).
Each of these is linked to specific areas of the body, physiological functions, emotions, colors, and sounds. When these centers are open and balanced, the flow of energy is harmonious. When one becomes blocked or out of balance, physical symptoms or emotional imbalances may appear.
Walking as an Energy Activation
Walking is one of the simplest and most profound forms of moving meditation. What many don’t know is that walking can become a powerful tool for activating, harmonizing, and connecting the chakras. Every step, every conscious breath, can resonate with these energy centers, mobilizing energy from the earth upward and from the mind to the body.
Below, we will present how the WALK-RWD system, and specifically walking, can influence each of the seven chakras:
1. Root Chakra (Muladhara) – Red
Location: Base of the spine
Related to: Safety, survival, connection to the earth
Walking barefoot (Post WALKING BAREFOOT. PART I. Types of soil; Future Post – WHY WALK BAREFOOT? PART II), feeling the weight of your body on your feet, and stepping firmly with each step activates this chakra. It is your first contact with reality and anchors you in the present.
Related to: Willpower, personal power, self-esteem
A brisk and determined walk activates this center. Walking confidently, with an open chest and forward gaze, reinforces a sense of purpose and autonomy (Post THE SYSTEM IS MOTIVATIONAL BY ITSELF; Future Post SELF-CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM IN THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM).
Related to: Communication, expression, authenticity
Walking in silence to listen to the sounds of your surroundings or practicing positive affirmations while walking can open this center. It is the connection between thought and word (Posts WALKING AND READING ALOUD; WALKING AND SPEAKING ALOUD: A THEORY FOR MENTAL REBALANCING; Future Post WALKING WHILE READING POETRY ALOUD).
6. Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) – Indigo
Location: Center of the forehead
Related to: Intuition, inner vision, wisdom
Walking in a contemplative state, without judgment, carefully observing the environment, activates this chakra. It is the gateway to deep perception and symbolic understanding (Future Posts WALKING, INTUITION, AND IMAGINATION; INTUITION EXERCISES, TAKING A WALKING).
7. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) – Violet or white color
Location: Top of the head
Related to: Spiritual connection, expanded consciousness
A meditative or silent walk can harmonize this chakra. It can also be activated by walking at dawn or dusk, when the skies invite transcendence (Posts HARMONY OF BODY WITH MIND; ADDITIONAL BENEFITS IN CONDITIONING BODY AND MIND; Future Post WALKING: A MOTOR OF THE SOUL AND SPIRIT; MINDFULNESS AND WALKING, A PERFECT SYNERGY, PART 1 OF 3).
Walking as Balance and Total Alignment
Walking consciously can become a holistic energetic practice. It harmonizes not only the physical body, but also the mind and spirit. The chakras are not activated separately; when walking, the entire body vibrates, and that vibration travels through the entire energetic axis.
Walking in harmony with our chakras is, in essence, walking in balance with ourselves and with the universe.
“Each step can be a silent prayer, an invocation of balance, an invisible dance of the energetic centers that dwell within us.”
There is a direct connection between the chakras and the lower extremities and feet, that is, with walking. Let’s see how this physical-soul-energetic relationship works:
1. Root Chakra (Muladhara) and the Feet: Direct Connection
The root chakra, located at the base of the spine, is closely related to grounding, security, stability, and basic needs. Although it is not located in the feet, its energy is projected downwards, through the legs and reaches the soles of the feet (Posts WALKING WITH THE TREES; EMPIRICISM OR THINKING WITH OUR FEET).
Physically, the feet:
• Are the base of the body and our point of contact with the ground.
• Are involved in postural balance and perception of the environment (through nerve endings).
• Activate the proprioceptive system (body awareness).
Mentally and energetically, the feet:
• Function as symbolic “roots” that anchor us to the present and reality.
• When we walk, we generate rhythmic stimulation that can help balance the root chakra.
• Are used in many walking meditation practices and grounding techniques, where walking barefoot absorbs energy from the earth and releases emotional tension.
2. Minor Chakras in the Feet
In addition to the seven main chakras, various traditions (such as Hindu, Tibetan, and Chinese) recognize minor chakras on the soles of the feet, known as “foot chakras” or “grounding points.” These chakras:
• Are located in the center of the sole of the foot, in the arch.
• Are centers of entry and exit of Earth energy (prana or chi).
• Allow us to discharge negative or dense energies and absorb renewing energies.
These minor chakras are essential in energy healing techniques, such as reiki, tai chi, qigong, and certain forms of yoga.
For this reason, we have recommended walking barefoot (Post WALKING BAREFOOT. PART I. Soil Types; Future Post WHY WALK BAREFOOT? PART II).
3. Mental and Emotional Relationship: Feet as a Symbol of Progress and Blockages
In bodily and symbolic psychology, the feet also represent:
• The personal path (where you’re going).
• The will to move forward or, in cases of blockages, the fear of taking important steps (Post # 186-509 – THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM AND PHOBIAS).
• Disorders or tensions in the feet can sometimes reflect existential insecurities, anxiety, or a lack of direction (Future Posts WALKING AND THE MEANING OF LIVING WITHOUT FEAR; THE FEAR OF LONELINESS AND THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM; THE FEAR OF FREEDOM AND THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM).
The feet have a clear and functional relationship with the chakras, especially with the root chakra and the minor chakras that connect directly to the energy of the earth. Walking consciously and barefoot, practicing coordinated breathing while walking, or simply feeling the contact of your feet with the ground are real ways to activate and harmonize this energetic system from both the physical and mental levels.
WALKING FROM THE FEET: ROOTS OF THE CHAKRAS AND BODY CARE
When we walk, we not only mobilize our physical body, we also deeply activate our energetic roots. The feet, in this sense, fulfill an essential function: they are the point of contact between the human body and the Earth. From an energetic perspective, the feet channel the vibration of the root chakra (Muladhara), allowing us to connect with stability, inner balance, and existential security (Posts ENJOYING OUR PERCUSIVE MUSICAL WALK – BODY – RHYTHM; RHYTHM, COMPASS AND CADENCE IN OUR WALK).
In ancient traditions, as already mentioned, minor chakras are recognized on the sole of each foot, which act as energy portals. These points absorb and release subtle energy, facilitating emotional cleansing and grounding. Therefore, walking consciously (Post MINDFULNESS AND WALKING, A PERFECT SYNERGY PART 1 OF 3), especially barefoot on earth, sand or grass, strengthens this deep connection between body, mind and vital energy (Posts WALKING BAREFOOT. PART I; Future Post WHY WALK BAREFOOT? PART II).
Just as we take care of our thoughts and emotions, we must also take care of our bodies, and especially our feet, which carry our history and guide us toward our destiny. Some simple recommendations:
• Walk daily, even if only for a few minutes, paying attention to your step, your breathing and your surroundings.
• Massage your feet with natural oils (lavender, mint or eucalyptus) to release accumulated tension.
• Exercise them consciously, stretching your toes, rolling your ankles and strengthening the soles of your feet.
• Walk barefoot whenever possible, as a way to reestablish the natural connection with the earth and recharge your energy.
Our feet are not just functional limbs: they are sensors, roots and transmitters. Learning to listen to them opens a direct channel to our own inner harmony.
EPILOGUE
Walking is not just about moving;
it is about aligning the body with energy,
it is about honoring the feet that support us,
and awakening, step by step,
the consciousness that dwells in each chakra.
Walking is praying with the body,
it is remembering that we are alive,
and that every footprint we leave on Earth
is also a footprint on the soul.
Let’s start walking, becoming aware of our 7 chakras, and see where they lead us.
This post is the first in a series in which we will explore the deep connection between walking and common sense. At first glance, they might seem like unrelated concepts, but upon closer analysis, we discover that walking is not only a physical exercise, but also an act of thought, reflection and orientation in life. When we stop walking, we not only lose movement, but we also run the risk of losing mental clarity, perspective, and in many cases, common sense.
If we think about our evolution, walking has been one of the most essential and logical actions for human survival. It has allowed us to explore, communicate, move around and, above all, think. However, in modern times, sedentary lifestyles and technological dependence have displaced this habit to the point of making it almost a rarity in many societies. What was once an obvious action is now a conscious choice, almost a luxury. Isn’t it paradoxical that we have to remember something as natural as walking?
Common sense tells us that moving is necessary, that the body is designed for it, that our mind benefits from physical activity and that our thoughts flow better to the rhythm of our steps (Posts EMPIRICISM OR THINKING WITH ONE’s FEET; RHYTHM, COMPASS AND CADENCE IN OUR WALKING). However, millions of people choose to ignore this basic knowledge, trapped in the inertia of comfort and disconnection with their own nature.
Walking as a Tool for Reflection
Historically, great thinkers have used walking as a method to organize their ideas. Kant walked the streets of Königsberg with the same precision with which he structured his philosophy. Nietzsche assured that “the best thoughts come when I walk” (Future Post NIETZSCHE AND THE GREEKS IN WALKING). Aristotle imparted his teachings while walking with his disciples, giving rise to the peripatetic school (Posts WALKING AND PERIPATHETICS; ARISTOTLE AND HIS SPEECHES DURING HIS PERIPATHETIC WALKS).
Why this connection between walking and thinking? Because movement activates the mind. Walking breaks rigidity, allows for contemplation of the environment and gives us the feeling of moving forward, not only physically, but also in our ideas. It is in the act of walking that we often find answers, new perspectives and practical solutions to everyday problems (Posts THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM ENCOURAGE CREATIVE THINKING. PART I; and THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM AND COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE).
The Loss of Common Sense in a Static World
Today, sedentarism has become the norm. Technology, instead of being a complementary tool, has replaced many of our essential functions. The ability to make simple decisions, to read the context, to find solutions without depending on devices, seems to have weakened. When the body stops walking, the mind also stagnates (Post NOT WALKING IS LIKE TURNING INTO A SWAMP). The connection with space, with time, with tangible reality is lost. Common sense, that ability to discern what is logical and practical in everyday life, is affected by the lack of movement.
In the next few posts in this series, we will explore how walking influences decision making, mental clarity, and regaining common sense in a world that seems to have lost it.
Final reflections:
Wouldn’t it be common sense to walk more, rather than relying exclusively on vehicles? Your answer would be titled: Walking as an exercise in common sense.
To what extent does walking enhance our ability to apply common sense in everyday life? One answer would be titled: Walking as an act of reflection and mental clarity.
Do expressions like “taking the right path,” “following a logical path,” or “losing our way” warn us that making common sense decisions is similar to choosing a suitable route when walking? Your answer would be titled: Various paths lead us to common sense.
How many times have we felt that our common sense advises us to take a walk, which would help us put our thoughts in order and make better decisions? One answer would be under the title: Common sense as a “path” in decision making.
Could it be that sedentary and digital life has made us lose both the habit of walking and the use of common sense? The answer to this would be: Modern disconnection and the loss of common sense.
We all need answers, but, for now, the best reflection is simple: go for a walk. Move. Recover your own rhythm and see how, step by step, common sense returns to you.
I invite you to take a walk with Common Sense through the pages of my essay-novel, entitled: The Dionysian Common Sense. Essay on a Novel. Available on Amazon, Kindle Edition: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0DZWGW3ZV
Before the word Christian became popular, those who followed Jesus were known as those of the Way. This expression appears several times in the Book of Acts, where this group is referred to with respect and sometimes fear. The Greek term used is odos, which means “way,” “path,” “journey”. It was not a simple label: it was a profound description of the way of life that Jesus proposed.
The Way was both a physical and a spiritual path. It implied constant transformation, a journey toward the truth, a willingness to leave the old behind and open oneself to the mystery of the Kingdom of God.
“To walk is to follow the Way”
👣 Jesus, the quintessential wayfarer
Jesus didn’t write books or found buildings. Jesus walked. He crossed villages, deserts, mountains, and coastlines. His ministry was eminently itinerant. He taught on the roads, healed along the way, stopped to look into people’s eyes, listen, and touch. And he always moved forward. He never stayed in one place for too long.
His disciples literally followed him. They left their nets, their collection tables, their homes… and walked with him. The Christian life began like this: walking. Every step was a lesson, every path an opportunity to learn, serve, and be transformed.
“Jesus didn’t build temples: he walked among the people”.
Walking as a Spiritual Practice
1. Symbol of Humility, Openness, and Connection
Walking is the most human and humble thing to do. It requires no technology, money, or titles. Those who walk become part of their surroundings. They do not dominate the earth; they walk it with respect. Walking equalizes and connects us: with others, with oneself, with the sacred.
2. Metaphor of Conversion and Transformation
In the Bible, walking is synonymous with change: “Walk before me, and be perfect” (Genesis 17:1). Walking implies movement, evolution, leaving behind what no longer serves us. That is why so many miracles happen along the way. Because it is there, in the uncertain and the open, that the heart softens and is renewed.
“Faith does not sit down, it walks”.
3. Pilgrimages: Steps Toward the Sacred
From the earliest centuries, Christians understood that faith deepens when it is set in motion. Pilgrimages to holy places like Jerusalem, Rome, and later Santiago de Compostela were born. (Post THE PILGRIMAGE, AN ANCIENT PRACTICE; Future Post DISCURSIVE AND POETIC PILGRIMAGE). It wasn’t just the arrival: it was the journey that sanctified, that taught us to depend on God, on our neighbors, and on the rhythm of our own bodies.
The Modern Contradiction
We live in a sedentary age. Many Christians practice their faith from the couch or in the car, far from the sweat of the road. Spirituality has become intellectualized, institutionalized, and even virtualized. But… haven’t we lost something essential in the process?
How can we understand Christ walking among the olive trees if we never go out to walk among the trees? How can we talk about following if our feet don’t move?
This post is not a romantic nostalgia for the past, but an urgent call to Christians today: let us recover walking as an act of faith.
Walk every day with purpose, with attention, with gratitude. Walk to pray, to think, to listen. Walk with others, walk alone, walk with God. Recover the ancient paths of soul and body. Rediscover the spirituality of movement.
Because walking is not only healthy: it is profoundly Christian.
In recent years, science has begun to recognize the positive impact of trees on human health due to the volatile substances they emit, such as phytoncides, which strengthen the immune system and reduce stress (Post WALKING WITH THE TREES). But could something similar happen with pets? This is an idea that has not yet been fully explored, but could open a new line of research into the invisible benefits that animals offer those who walk with them.
In this post we present certain hypotheses throughout their development with the purpose of channeling actions to discover and demonstrate the healing power of the different substances emitted by animals and that some of us adopt as pets, an action that would facilitate the transmission of these healing influences.
Zempo y Puxtla
Emission of Biological Substances by Animals
We know that trees release phytoncides, volatile compounds with antibacterial and relaxing properties. To draw a parallel with animals, we could consider the following:
• Pheromones and other chemical signals:
Animals secrete pheromones for intraspecific communication (between individuals of the same species). Although these substances are designed to influence other animals, some studies have shown that humans can react to them unconsciously.
Example: The use of synthetic canine pheromones (such as Adaptil) has been investigated to reduce stress in dogs and it has been observed that they can also generate a more relaxed environment for humans.
• Animal microbiota and its environmental influence:
Animals transport and release beneficial bacteria into the environment. Living with dogs, for example, enriches the human intestinal microbiota, which could positively impact the immune system.
Hypothesis: If animals release beneficial microorganisms into the air (through breath, skin or fur), this could influence human health by strengthening their microbiome.
• Odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs):
Each species of animal has its own characteristic odor, derived from chemical compounds given off by its body. Could these compounds influence the psyche or well-being of humans?
Some studies have shown that the smell of certain animals, such as horses or dogs, can induce states of calm and reduce anxiety in people.
Influence of Animals on Human Health
Although there is no evidence that animals emit healing substances into the environment, multiple positive effects of their presence have been documented:
• Skin-to-skin contact effect:
Touching and stroking an animal can lower blood pressure and decrease cortisol, suggesting an indirect biochemical impact.
• Effect of body temperature and vibrations:
It has been documented that cats, when purring (25-50 Hz), generate vibrations that can stimulate bone and muscle healing. Could there be a correlation between exposure to these types of frequencies and cell regeneration in humans?
• Placebo effect and psychological well-being:
If we believe that the proximity of animals helps us, it is possible that our body reacts favorably to that expectation.
THE WALK: Stimulating factor.
The connection between movement and the emission of substances in pets
Just as humans release different substances through sweat and breathing when performing physical activity, it is logical to assume that animals also modulate the production and release of certain substances depending on their level of activity. During the walk, the pet’s body enters a state of metabolic activation that could influence the production of pheromones, natural oils in the skin, and even the composition of the microbiome that they share with their environment.
Various studies have shown that the microbiota of dogs, for example, can influence the microbiota of the humans with whom they live, promoting greater bacterial diversity in their owners. This exchange of microorganisms could be related to health benefits, from a better immune response to a lower incidence of allergies.
Pheromones and volatile organic compounds: a possible path to healing
Animals emit pheromones that play a fundamental role in their communication and behavior. Some of these substances have calming effects, such as the appeasing pheromones of dogs and cats, which are used in therapies to reduce anxiety in these animals. Although their effect on humans has not yet been thoroughly studied, it is plausible that exposure to these pheromones during walking has a positive impact on people’s emotional well-being.
On the other hand, there are volatile organic compounds that animals can emit through their skin, saliva or glandular secretions. When walking, the pet’s blood circulation accelerates, its breathing intensifies and its body temperature increases, which could enhance the emission of these beneficial substances.
The role of movement in activating these processes
The central hypothesis of this reflection is that movement (Walking) activates and amplifies the production and dispersion of these substances, just as occurs with trees and their phytoncides. When an animal is at rest, its metabolism operates at a basal rate, with minimal emission of compounds. But when walking, a dynamic process is generated in which your body interacts more intensely with the environment, allowing a greater diffusion of substances that could have positive effects on the humans who accompany you.
In addition, walking with a pet also involves exposing humans to new natural environments, which can favor the absorption of beneficial substances from both the animals and the environment itself. This reinforces the idea that the combination of movement, outdoors and animal companionship has a multifactorial impact on health.
Beyond dogs and cats: other pets with healing potential
Although dogs and cats are the most common pets that accompany humans on their walks, there are many other species that walk with people and that could be emitting substances with beneficial effects that have not yet been explored and therefore unknown. Some possibilities include:
• Birds: Breathing Pure Air. Birds’ metabolism and air filtration through their lungs could influence the quality of the environment in which they are found. Birds such as canaries and parrots not only brighten the environment with their song, but they could release substances through their plumage or their breathing. It is known that bird lungs are highly efficient at filtering air, which could influence the quality of the environment in closed spaces. Could the presence of certain birds improve oxygenation or air purification in the home?
• Fish and the Aquatic Environment. Although they do not accompany you on walks, the aquatic ecosystems in which they live generate compounds that could have relaxing effects on those who observe them. Aquariums have been associated with reducing stress and anxiety, but research on their biochemical impact is scarce. Aquarium water is known to contain microorganisms and natural compounds that can influence air quality. Could the presence of ornamental fish in an enclosed space generate effects similar to those of natural environments near water?
• Rodents: Pheromones and Close Contact. Hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits release pheromones that affect behavior and the chemistry of the environment. All of them have a close relationship with humans and can release pheromones that affect the chemistry of the home. It has been documented that guinea pigs can influence the emotional regulation of children and adults who caress them, reducing anxiety.
• Reptiles: Interaction with a Different World. Their skin and body temperature can influence the tactile perception and emotional state of their owners. Although reptiles, such as turtles and lizards, do not emit strong odors or have sweat glands, they can influence the environment through the temperature and texture of their skin. Contact with certain species can induce a state of calm or promote mindfulness, suggesting a possible indirect effect on mental health.
Hypotheses for the Future
If trees emit phytoncides and dogs influence the microbiota, it is possible that other species also interact with the environment and the human body in ways that are still unknown. Future science could explore how different animal species, through their breathing, skin or microbiome, can influence human well-being.
Conclusion: a new field of exploration for health and well-being
Interaction with animals is an inexhaustible source of benefits for humans. While science has demonstrated the positive effects of animal companionship on emotional and mental health, there is still much to discover about the physiological impact of the substances they emit. The idea that these substances can be enhanced through movement opens a fascinating door for future research.
Walking with a pet is not only an emotionally rewarding experience, but it could also be an invisible source of physical and mental well-being. The invitation remains open: let’s continue exploring, walking and discovering how nature and the living beings around us can influence our health in ways that we still do not fully understand.
