YOUR WALK SAYS A LOT ABOUT YOU
Walking is a complex process. It involves your body from head to toes, including several parts of your brain
Some strides do more than just get you from point A to point B, Your gait, posture and pace may also be broadcasting clues about your health and personality.
*Fast Pace
Studies on people over 65 show that a natural need for speed when walking tends to mean you'll live longer. But it doesn't work in reverse; you can't expect to extend your years if you push yourself to move quickly. It's likely a slow stride reflects underlying health issues.
*Veering Left
When you're tense and worried you are less likely to be right- when you walk, that is. Researchers tracking peoples' movements as they walked blindfolded found that the more stressed someone felt, the farther left they strayed when aiming for a target straight ahead.That may be because the right side of your brain is working harder to handle your doubts and dread.
*Tip-Toe
It's normal for young kids to walk on their toes as they learn to be upright in the world. But if that doesn't as they get older, it could mean that their Achilles tendon is too short to let their heel touch the ground comfortably. Or it could mean a sign of muscle issues like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. Toe-walking is also common in kids with autism,
*Slapping Steps
If it looks like you're climbing invisible stairs, you may have foot drop. This typically causes your toes to drag as you walk, and you may step higher to make up for it. It's more common for one foot to be floppy, but sometimes it can affect both. It may mean you've injured a nerve in your leg, or it could be a sign of a nerve, muscle, brain, or spinal disorder.
*Slower Than You Used To Be
Changes in the speed of your walk overtime could be one way to predict whether Alzheimer's or other memory problem are on your horizon.
*Long Stride
Sexperts have a fairly easy time pinpointing women who can climax from a penis inside her vagina just by the way they walk. Turns out, that sexual response means you're likely to have a flexible pelvis and backbone, and therefore a wider and telltale stride.
