In the past, I thought that taking 10,000 steps a day would help improve health and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. However, recent studies have pointed out that even if you only walk about 4,000 steps a day, it can help reduce the risk of premature death. According to the latest research published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, the more steps you take, the better. As long as you walk at least 3,967 steps a day, you can reduce the risk of dying from any disease. The risk of death from cardiovascular disease can be reduced by walking 2,337 steps a day.

Can you reduce the risk of death by walking at least 4,000 steps a day? Research results exposed {After analyzing data from 226,889 subjects from 17 different studies around the world, the study group found that for every 1,000 extra steps, the all-cause mortality rate decreased by 15%; for every 500 extra steps, the chance of dying from cardiovascular disease decreased by 7%. Even if you walk 20,000 steps a day, these benefits still exist, and researchers are unable to find the highest value at this time.

The lead author of this study, Dr. Maciej Banach, said that according to the research, the more steps you take, the better, and it is suitable for both men and women. No matter how old you are, or how old you are, living in a warm, hot, or sub-electrode, can bring benefits. In addition, research and analysis also found that taking at least 4,000 steps a day can clearly reduce the risk of death for any cause, or even fewer steps, and can also reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.

Walk at least 7,000 steps a day under the age of 60 effectively reduces nearly 50% of the risk of death

The research results also show that when people start walking before the age of 60, the benefits are greater. When people under the age of 60 walk 7,000 to 13,000 steps a day, the overall death risk can be reduced by 49%, while when people under the age of 60 and above walk 6,000 to 10,000 steps a day, the death risk can also be reduced by 42%.

Maciej Banach said the main message of this study is that people should go as much as possible, and the earlier they start, the better they can get the greatest health benefits. In this world of advanced medicines that can cure specific diseases, it is still necessary to emphasize that lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, are also the main focus of research, because a good lifestyle is as effective as medicines in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and prolonging life.
