[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has created health stairs to encourage walking exercise.

On the 28th, according to Geochang-gun, health stairs with themes of health and healing were established at Udusan Anti-Aging Healing Land, the center of anti-aging tourism in the eastern region, to promote walking exercise in daily life.

The health stairs section is located on the path from Suwol Mountain Lodge to the Forest Healing Center parking lot and from the Forest Healing Center to the entrance of the Y-shaped suspension bridge.

Up to the entrance, four themed phrases on calories and lifespan, health, nutrition, and healing, along with images wrapping 40 major tourist attractions in Geochang, provide useful information for practicing a healthy lifestyle and encourage physical activity, as well as plan to be used for promoting tourist attractions.

Walking stairs allows for strength training and aerobic exercise in a short time, improving lower body strength and preventing arthritis, and it also reduces the risk of all-cause mortality, obesity, cancer, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, as well as improving mental health and cognitive function.

In the new normal caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), walking is a physical activity that anyone can practice anytime and anywhere, maintaining social distance and following quarantine rules, making it the most effective exercise.

Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, said, “I hope many visitors regain relaxation and health by walking the health stairs amid the beautiful natural environment, and we will continue to strive to activate physical activities and improve walking practice rates.”

Meanwhile, Geochang-gun is expanding various walking environments to promote the health of its residents.
