According to a study published by Harvard Medical School, walking can offer numerous health benefits similar to those of more strenuous exercises. It can improve cardiac health, support the circulatory system, and help maintain a healthy weight, among other benefits.
— A study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, California, found that brisk walking could lower the risk of heart disease just as much as running, emphasizing the efficiency of this simple activity.
— The Mayo Clinic also advocates for the benefits of walking, noting that it’s gentler on the joints compared to running, thus reducing the risk of injury.
— Finally, a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine revealed that walking at a fast pace (over 5 mph) could lead to a longer life, underlining its efficacy as an optimal form of exercise.
