Reducing the risk of death by walking 4000 steps a day

The research of scientists in the field of daily activities and its relationship with the risk of death shows that only 4 thousand walking steps per day can significantly reduce the risk of death from various causes.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service and quoted by the Guardian, Maci Banach, a professor at the University of Lodz in Poland, together with his research group, has reviewed the data of 17 past studies. By reviewing previous data, these researchers found that walking at least 3,960 steps per day is associated with a reduced risk of death from various causes. According to them, walking 2,300 steps also reduces mortality from cardiovascular diseases.

According to these researchers, every 1,000 steps increase will cause a 15% reduction in death from various causes. Finally, this research shows that walking more has better results and can be generalized between men and women regardless of age.

According to the researchers, the health effect in young people is also observed with 7 to 13 thousand walking steps per day. Also, at the age of over 60, it is necessary to walk 6 to 10,000 steps to improve health. Even walking 20,000 steps can have very beneficial effects on health.

In this context, Banach says: Despite the very advanced drugs in the field of cardiovascular diseases, more emphasis should always be placed on lifestyle changes and exercise. These two cases are the main heroes in this research.
