The number of steps you should walk every day to start seeing benefits to your health is lower than previously thought, according to the largest analysis to investigate this. The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, found that walking at least 3967 steps a day started to reduce the risk of dying from any cause, and 2337 steps a day reduced the risk of dying from diseases of the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease).

    Haha, obviously, this needs to correlate with other habits/available resources too. Otherwise, people in the past would live longer than people in the present.

    I love some “bad” food, but I do walk a lot. I suppose I might live longer than people who love bad food as much as I do but don’t exercise.
