These are health benefits ..
According to this study, walking at least 7,000 steps per day reduces the risk of heart disease by 25 percent. It is said that the risk of cancer is 6 percent and the risk of type-2 diabetes is reduced by 14 percent. The risk of dementia decreases by 38 percent, 22 percent of depression and 28 percent. In addition, the study states that the risk of death may be reduced by about 50 percent. However, currently a target is usually a target of 10,000 steps per day. However, this may not be possible for those who do less physical activity. However, researchers say that everyone can run 7,000 steps.
What do researchers say?
Ding Ding, Professor of Charles Perkins Center at Sydney University, Australia, said that it is sufficient for active people to walk 10,000 steps, but walking 7,000 per day can also improve health. He said that this is a viable goal for ordinary people. He said that those who take 4,000 steps have better health benefits than those who run only 2,000 steps. In some cases, especially for people with cardiovascular problems, he said that walking more than 7,000 steps can be beneficial. However, he said that the study showed that walking 7,000 steps has also benefited well to those who have a large percentage of problems.
Researchers reacted to restrictions ..
Researchers also mentioned some limitations in the study. He said that the analysis was limited on age basis, especially in areas such as cancer and dementia. Nevertheless, researchers said that the counting of daily steps is an easy way to measure physical activity. He says that its results can play an important role in making public health guidelines in future. He says that this study is a possible and effective solution to promote walking.
