Evidently, science contradicts itself once again, but that is not actually the point to be made. Many people have a monitor that calculates how many steps they take and when the certain number is achieved each day, supposedly a person is staying healthy. Steps and walking are two different things. A person can walk to the fridge every hour and nibble on something. That is not exercise and that causes further damage to the body with such a habit of eating by grazing. "Walking, in all cases where it is possible, is the best exercise, because in walking, all the muscles are brought into action. Many who depend upon the movement-cure could, by exercise, accomplish more for themselves than the movements can do for them. There is no exercise that can take the place of walking. Want of exercise causes the bowels to become enfeebled and shrunken. Exercise will strengthen these organs that have become enfeebled for want of use. The circulation of the blood is greatly improved by the act of walking. The active use of the limbs will be of the greatest advantage to invalids" {HR, July 1, 1872 par. 14}.
