flag Study finds walking 7,000 steps a day offers major health benefits, challenging the 10,000-step myth.

flag A study in The Lancet Public Health found that walking 7,000 steps a day can significantly reduce risks of death, heart disease, cancer, dementia, and depression, challenging the widely promoted 10,000-step target. flag The research analyzed 57 studies involving over 200,000 participants, showing that walking benefits increase up to about 7,000 steps, with smaller gains beyond that point. flag The 10,000-step goal originated from a 1960s marketing campaign, not scientific evidence.
