Sally Nugent and Jon Kay had BBC Breakfast viewers in stitches on Wednesday morning as they kicked off the show with a cheeky exchange about walking speeds — and heart health.
The pair were going through the day’s papers when Sally pulled out a headline that struck a personal chord. “Here is a story that you will appreciate, Jon,” she teased, before explaining that a new study suggests people who walk fast are more likely to have better heart health. According to the research, brisk walkers are less likely to develop atrial fibrillation — a condition that causes an irregular or overly fast heartbeat.
