Walking is very beneficial for health. However, it is important to do it at the right time, otherwise, it can cause harm instead of benefit, especially in summer.

It is very important to know what is the right time to walk amid high temperatures and heat waves. Let us know at what time walking in summer is more beneficial for health, how long should one walk and what are its benefits.

The right time to walk in summer

Morning time is considered the best time for walking in summer. The time between 5:30 am to 7:30 am is the best because during this time the temperature remains normal and the air is also not very polluted. Vitamin D is also found in the morning sun, which is beneficial for bones.

If you are unable to walk in the morning, then you can do a light walk in the evening even after sunset. But avoid walking in the afternoon (from 11 am to 4 pm), because at this time the intense heat and UV rays can harm health.
