Research suggests that walking, even fewer than 5,000 steps daily, reduces mortality risk, with greater benefits at higher step counts and intensity. Experts recommend incorporating walking into daily routines and climbing stairs to improve cardiovascular health. Aiming for 10,000 steps at a brisk pace can significantly lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, and dementia. Dr. Manan Vora, an orthopedic surgeon, emphasized how walking can reduce the risk of heart diseases and various cancers. Another study highlighted the benefits of stair climbing in lowering cardiovascular disease risks. The pace of walking is equally vital, indicating the importance of walking faster for health benefits.
