Walking 4,000 steps a day linked to longer life

https://breakingnewsenglish.com/2308/230817-walking-for-longer-life.html

Summarize📧

Walking should be a part of everyone's daily routine. 4,000 steps is the minimum to stay healthy. More than 4,000 steps are enough to help us live longer. Taking 1,000 extra steps every day will reduce the risk of premature death by about 15%. Among the benefits of walking more are preventing cardiovascular diseases, releasing stress, strengthening the immune system, and improving sleep quality.

Comment💬

I agree with the viewpoint of this study. Because I often walk from school to Taipei main station with friends after school. While watching the sunset, chatting and observing things around, I feel that time has slowed down and relaxed.
