Walking 10,000 steps a day cuts risk of early death by 40pc, study shows

The Telegraph  

Walking 10,000 steps a day is enough to lower the risk of early death by almost 40 per cent – even if the rest of the time is spent on the sofa, research shows. Studies have found that those who spend a lot of time sitting while awake, such as at their desks or watching TV, are more likely to suffer an early death and develop heart disease. Those managing 4,000 steps a day cut their risk of early death by 20 per cent. The best results were among those achieving between 9,000 and 10,000 steps daily, who cut their risk of premature death by 39 per cent.
