The Health Benefits Of Walking Appear To Increase With Step Count<\/strong><\/h2>\nA 2020 study found that people who took part and who took 8 000 steps per day had a 51% lower risk of dying by any cause as compared with those who took 4 000 per day.<\/p>\n
This trend continued with increased step counts as participants who took 12 000 steps every day had a 65% lower risk of dying as opposed to those who took 4 000.<\/p>\n
This finding suggests that the health benefits of walking increase with step count however also shows that people who are not able to reach 10 000 steps in a day can still benefit from the activity.<\/p>\n
