Summary:
- This study suggests that the more you walk, the better it is for your health. People who walked for longer periods of time had a lower risk of dying from any cause compared to those who walked less.
- The study found that walking for at least 11 minutes per day was associated with a lower risk of death. The more people walked, the greater the health benefits, up to about 75 minutes per day.
- Walking is a simple and accessible form of exercise that can have significant positive impacts on overall health and longevity. Encouraging people to walk more, even in short bouts throughout the day, can be an effective public health strategy.
