A new study has found that people who live in the densest, pedestrian-friendly parts of New York City have a significantly lower body mass index (BMI) compared to other New Yorkers.

Once again here is proof that regular walking will keep you in shape. You don’t have to do jogging, running or difficult exercise. All you have to do is walk to the stores and buy your groceries and other items. That is what the New Yorkers who live in pedestrian friendly areas are doing: they are walking to the shops, walking to work, walking to the public transportation.

If you live in the suburbs it may be more difficult to do your errands and walk at the same time. If this is the case then the best thing is to reserve some time in your day for walking. A good walk after dinner is an excellent way to get exercise and also help digest your food.

Walk for around 40 minutes every day and you will stay in shape. Walk for one hour every day and you will probably live to be 100.

I am in London and will give two music concerts while I am here in the UK. The first one will be on Saturday night 10 March and the second one will be a house concert in Portland, UK. Details for both concerts can be found on my main website

Seven of the songs which I performed at last year’s Divine Moon Festival in England are now online as videos at youtube.com . You can see them by going to www.youtube.com and doing a search for Dada Veda or you can go to my page www.youtube.com/dadaved . On that page you will find three videos that I have directly uploaded and down below in the favorites section there are four more songs that were uploaded by the photographer directly.

The videos give an idea of what you can expect in one of my concerts. If you would like to book me for a performance in your locality, then send me an email and let’s see if we can work it out  My motto is: “Have Songs, Will Travel.”
