flag Long, continuous walks reduce heart disease risk by 66%, new UK study finds.

flag A new UK study of over 33,000 adults finds that walking in continuous sessions of 15 minutes or more cuts heart disease risk by 66% compared to short, scattered walks, challenging the 10,000-step goal. flag Researchers say sustained walking boosts blood vessel function, heart rate, and fat burning, while brief bursts offer little protection. flag Experts recommend focusing on walk duration and intensity over step counts, with brisk walking, interval pacing, added resistance, and mindful movement enhancing health benefits. flag Even low step counts can help, but quality of movement matters most for longevity and heart health.
