Tag #7000 Steps

What is the origin of the 10,000-step daily target, and how does the new research challenge its validity?

The research analyzed data from 160,000 adults globally, comparing those walking 2,000 steps daily to those walking 7,000. The results showed a 25% reduction in heart disease risk, a 6% reduction in cancer risk, a 38% reduction in dementia risk, and a 22% reduction in depression risk for the 7,000-step group. This challenges the widely held belief that 10,000 steps are necessary.
