- It doesn’t matter how much you sit — walking more could lower your risk of death and disease
A study of 72,000 people found that walking more can reduce mortality risk by nearly 40% and cardiovascular disease risk by over 20%, even for those who sit long hours. Taking 9,000–10,000 steps daily provided the greatest benefits.
