The truth over 10,000 steps: that much movement is really necessary!
Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - movement is healthy, we all know that. But what about the famous 10,000 steps that are considered the optimal daily goal? A new investigation shows that this value is not carved in stone. According to the health magazine pharmacies Umschau and a current meta-analysis has been shown that the risk of early death is sufficient to lower. Specific figures show that 4,000 steps a day can drastically reduce the risk of mortality.
Data from almost 227,000 people from all over the world have been examined and the results are impressive: if you take 1,000 steps more every day, you can reduce the risk of early death by 15 percent. Even those who only take 500 steps reduce their risk of mortality by a whopping 7 percent. The 10,000 step rule, which was once considered a general recommendation, is probably due to a marketing strategy of a Japanese company that presented a pedometer for the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 1964, as with Tagesschau is.
science speaks a clear language
This discussion about the optimal step has important implications for our daily movement. Sports doctors emphasize that any kind of physical activity - regardless of the number of steps - has positive effects on health. According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), you should move moderately for at least five days a week. The new research encourages also to appreciate small progress in one's own physical activity and take it regularly, because every step counts!
