Lace up those sneakers! Research says that walking is fantastic for your health. Incorporating more steps into your day can better your heart and lung health, help you manage your weight, improve your sleep quality, and lower your risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Then there are the mental health perks, such as reducing stress, anxiety and symptoms of depression, which should encourage you to lace up your shoes and go.
Experts debate how many steps are needed daily, but a 2024 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that walking between 9,000 and 10,500 steps provides the most benefits. However, even walking more than 2,200 steps a day can help you live longer, as well as lower your risk of heart disease.
