Michael Mosley recently talked about how much he enjoys long walks in the sunshine in a poignant podcast episode.
The TV doctor, 67, has been missing since Wednesday after setting off for a walk on the Greek island of Symi.
His wife Clare reported him missing late on Wednesday evening after he failed to return home and an urgent appeal was published on a local Facebook page.
The television doctor has made several appearances on ITV's This Morning and BBC's The One Show. He also fronts the BBC podcast, Just One Thing.
The health guru shares simple tips on quick ways to improve wellbeing on the podcast.
In one episode from 2021, he explored the importance of getting some early-morning light with a long walk.

"There are loads of benefits to be had from going for a walk at any time of day or night, but getting out and about first thing in the morning really does have some added benefits," he explained as he enjoyed a stroll himself.
"It's also a good idea to make your walk as brisk as possible, and you can probably hear that in my voice," he added.
"Because when you do that it increases the impact of walking by up to 50 per cent."
He went on to add that as well as movement, the benefits walks have on the mind are also significant, particularly in the winter when there is less light.

"Many people, including me, experience Seasonal Affective Disorder, SAD, so it's something I've tried to fit into my daily routine as much as I can."
The podcast, released in 2021, demonstrates Mosley's love for health and healthy habits.
CCTV footage of Mosley has been released, with the MailOnline reporting timestamps of the pictures as 1.52pm and taken from Blue Corner in Pedi, a 15-minute walk from St Nicholas, and a quarter of the way through the walk he had set out on.
Experts and TV colleagues at home have become increasingly concerned for the doctor's whereabouts, with local journalist Niki Kitsantonis referring to the possibility he had been "swept away at sea".

Speaking on ITV's GMB, she stated: "There are fears he might have slipped... The mayor of the island is worried he has perhaps (been) swept away at sea."
Meanwhile, Mayor Eleftherios Papakalodoukas told the BBC that firefighters carrying out the search had informed him that they believed it was "impossible" for Mosley to be in the same area where he was reported missing.
Papakalodoukas added: "It is a very small, controlled area, full of people. So if something happened to him there, we would have found him by now."
