How Many Daily Steps You Need To Reduce Your Risk Of Chronic Disease
HuffPost
A new study found walking a certain amount of steps led to a lower risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity and more. (Hint: It's not 10,000.)
For a long time, getting 10,000 steps a day was a goal for many people. However, that digit has since been debunked: “10,000 steps is kind of an arbitrary number,” Catherine Hagan Vargo, a physical therapist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, previously told HuffPost.
While the 10,000-step number may not be as valuable as once thought ― and it can be a challenging daily step goal for most people ― a new study shows a more realistic number might improve certain health outcomes. The research published in Nature Journal found that walking 8,200 steps daily is linked to a lower chance of developing certain conditions and chronic diseases.
