I'm posting this for those who know people of a certain age who might benefit from a simple remedy such as this (don't you just love it when getting better is that easy?!):

Study: Walking on cobblestones is healthy

The path to better health and lower blood pressure may be paved with cobblestones. When people older than age 60 walked on smooth, rounded cobblestones for just a half-hour a day over four months, they significantly lowered their blood pressure and improved their balance, a study showed. Behavioral researchers from the Oregon Research Institute investigated the health effects of cobblestones after observing people exercising and walking back and forth over traditional stone paths in China. The results of the study surprised Fisher and his fellow researchers. “To achieve such results in such a short time is certainly dramatic,” said the chief hypertension expert at the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland.
