This was great to read this morning.
I’m getting about 10,000 steps a day thanks to my daily walks with Lola and @actifit ….
Want to reduce your risk for dementia?
Slap on a step counter and start tallying your steps -- you'll need between 3,800 and 9,800 each day to reduce your risk of mental decline, according to a new study.
I try to get 10,000 steps a day and I’m extra motivated by earning Actifit crypto from walking.
Lola especially likes our 10,000 steps walks …
Just 2 minutes of walking after eating can help blood sugar, study says
People between the ages of 40 and 79 who took 9,826 steps per day were 50% less likely to develop dementia within seven years, the study found. Furthermore, people who walked with "purpose" -- at a pace over 40 steps a minute -- were able to cut their risk of dementia by 57% with just 6,315 steps a day.
"It is a brisk walking activity, like a power walk," said study coauthor Borja del Pozo Cruz, an adjunct associate professor at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, Denmark, and senior researcher in health sciences for the University of Cadiz in Spain.
Even people who walked approximately 3,800 steps a day at any speed cut their risk of dementia by 25%, the study found.
