Walking is one of the most underrated forms of exercise. But what a new study has found will help you understand the pace and nature of walking and its impact on health. As per a study available in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, walking at a speed of 4 or more km an hour lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes.
The study by researchers from the UK and Iran has found that the faster the speed above 4 km/hour, the lower the risk seems to be, with every 1 km increase in speed associated with a 9% reduction in risk.
