Walking briskly is beneficial for all health outcomes including dementia, heart disease, cancer and death
How fast you walk could be just as important for your health as how many steps you take each day, a new study suggests.
Researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of Southern Denmark found that 10,000 steps each day is the “sweet spot” to help lower the risk of disease and death. They also found that a faster pace, such as a brisk power walk, can have even greater benefits.
