There are many assumptions about exactly how many steps each person should take daily to stay healthy.

In this case, we are talking, as a rule, about measured walking, which usually does not take too much strength and energy to exhaust the “pedestrian” thoroughly.

However, how often should a person walk daily and for how long?

Take note

Most experts in the relevant field believe that the optimal number of steps is 10,000.

Typically this parameter is equivalent to covering approximately 8 kilometers and one and a half hours of active walking.

This type of physical exercise improves the functioning of the cardiovascular system and also reduces the risk of developing diabetes.

Active walking also has a beneficial effect on a person's psyche and body weight, minimizing the occurrence of depression and obesity.
