One long walk beats short strolls for a healthy heart, study says
A UK study of 33,560 adults found walking in bouts of 15 minutes or more reduced cardiovascular risk by two thirds compared to bouts under five minutes.
- Extending daily walks to bouts of 15 minutes or longer significantly lowers risks of heart disease and death compared to shorter walks, according to research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
- A study of 33,560 adults revealed that those walking in longer bouts had a lower likelihood of dying over nearly a decade.
- Researchers found that walking less than 5,000 steps was considered sedentary and had a higher risk of death, while those walking over 15 minutes had a much lower risk.
- The study suggests that it's never too late to start walking, especially for older adults, to reduce heart disease risks.
