I'm trying to get more exercise, so I've been thinking about walking to work instead of driving. Is walking good for my health?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, walking is excellent for your health. It can help reduce the risk of heart disease, improve blood sugar levels, and boost your mood.<|im_end|>

That sounds great. How long should I walk each day to see these benefits?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity walking per day. You can start with shorter walks and gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable.<|im_end|>
