Walking is one of the most effective ways to lose weight gradually and sustainably. In the era of quick weight loss solutions and fad diets, this simple workout can work wonders and bring miraculous benefits in all aspects of well-being. Several studies over the decades have established how walking every day can transform various aspects of physical and mental health.
Studies published in JAMA Neurology and JAMA Internal Medicine suggest walking for at least 30 minutes, not necessarily in a single session. For every additional 2,000 steps, the risk of heart disease, cancer, and premature death decreases by 10%, peaking at 10,000 steps each day, says the research.
