What is a healthy mode of transportation?

Okay, so, healthy transportation… what even is that, right? Well, I’ve been thinking about it lately, especially since my doctor kinda hinted I needed to move more. Ugh. Walking and biking, you know, that active travel stuff, it’s actually a HUGE deal for your health. I mean, who knew just ditching the car sometimes could help fight off things like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease? It’s kinda crazy to think about. Remember that time I biked to the farmer’s market instead of driving? Felt great afterward! Sure, my legs were a bit jelly-like, but I was energized, not sluggish like I usually am after battling traffic. Plus, the air felt so much cleaner, not all choked up with exhaust fumes. And, honestly? The less time I spend stuck in traffic, the better. Who likes being stuck in traffic anyway? It’s totally soul-crushing. I read somewhere – I think it was a Harvard study, or maybe something else, can’t quite recall – that even small amounts of active travel can make a big difference. So yeah, maybe taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or walking a few blocks instead of driving… it all adds up, you know? It’s not just good for me, it’s good for the planet too – less pollution, less traffic. Win-win!
