Many people walk several kilometers a day and some even do it up to 10 thousand steps. However, according to research in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 5 thousand steps a day are already enough to help improve body health. This research also states that the risk of death from cardiovascular disease or other diseases decreases significantly when someone adds 500-1,000 steps per day.

Walking not only helps train breathing and facilitate weight control. According to Nutritionist and Neuropathy Expert, Rhian Stephenson, walking helps improve blood circulation, enhance digestive health, boost immune system, control blood sugar, and even improve mood.

Routine walking outdoors can also activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is useful for optimizing metabolism and calming the mind, so you can also improve mental health.

Personal Trainer, Stephenson and Luke Worthington even recommend walking more than 6,000 steps every day to prevent various diseases. If you are not used to walking long distances, start with a small number of steps first and increase your steps every day to maximize the health benefits.

For Dream friends who have limited time to exercise or walk, there is a trick to be able to do it and get health benefits.
