Any exercise will help you be healthier. You will loose weight if you combine the exercise with a healthy diet of the right number of calories.

I can tell you from experience that I work out almost every day, and eat healthily, and I haven't been sick in YEARS. Even times when my roommates have all been violently ill with the flu, stomach bugs, or just icky aches, I'm perfectly fine.

So yeah, any exercise will help your immune system, and it is good for your heart and can help you loose weight.

Yep. It's suggested that you get at least 30 min a day of cardio, even if it's just walking. First off, it's better than nothing, and second, it's physical activity, so yes. It may not make the weight shed instantaneously, but as long as it's a quick pace and not moseying along, it'll definitely  benefit you (along with a good diet).

I am currently walking an hour a day and eating 1500-1800 calories per day. The weight is falling off. Walking alone won't do it although I estimate I am buring 350 calories/day just from the walking alone. However, you have to eat well too.

IT'S BETTER than nothing, yes, but hardly a full healthy lifestyle by itself.

If you have a poor diet 30 minutes of walking isn't going to save you. With a diet, yes I believe that 30 minutes a day will do a good job maintaining the body you're in.
