The ‘power’ of walking 10,000 steps a day is still alive. People who are not busy all the time should walk as much as possible. [사진=게티이미지뱅크]The number of steps you walk per day has a significant impact on your health. It is necessary to adjust the number of steps depending on the purpose of walking. WebMD, a highly trusted American health portal, introduced ‘Everything you really need to know about walking and health’ as follows.
Walking 10,000 steps a day was once considered a ‘magic number.’ But 10,000 steps has deeper roots in marketing than science. In 1965, a company in Tokyo, Japan, launched a ‘pedometer’, which became an opportunity for many people to set a goal of walking 10,000 steps a day. The company emphasized that increasing the number of steps can significantly lower the risk of heart disease.
Recently, research results are pouring in showing that you can enjoy health benefits even if you walk much less than 10,000 steps. Even if you walk just 2,500 steps (or 2,700 steps) a day, your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease begins to decrease. For every 500 steps you take, or one lap around a standard track, your risk of cardiovascular disease decreases by 7%.
Walking about 4,000 steps helps reduce your risk of dying early from all causes. Walking 6,000 steps can lower your risk of type 2 diabetes. It is especially effective for older women. Walking 6,500 steps a day can lower your blood pressure.
Walking more than 8,000 steps lowers the risk of obesity, sleep apnea, and depression. Walking 9,800 steps can lower your risk of dementia by 50%. Wouldn’t walking more than 10,000 steps a day be more beneficial to your health? Not like that. Walking 10,500 steps a day can lower your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by 77% compared to walking 2,500 steps. Walking 11,000 steps lowers the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, obesity, and sleep apnea by 25% to 50% compared to walking 6,000 steps.
Additionally, walking 11,500 steps can lower your risk of premature death by 67% compared to walking 4,000 steps. The average number of steps for an American is said to be 4,800 steps per day. There is an analysis that the average number of steps per day for Koreans is 7,783 steps for men and 5,909 steps for women (as of 2020). Every step is important. It is important to walk properly.
