The Benefits of Walking at 8,000 Steps
All of the benefits from walking really come at 8,000 steps, 50% reduction in all cosmortality. The 10,000 steps number was originally created by a Japanese pedometer maker as a marketing scheme because 10,000 is an auspicious number in Japanese culture. But something about 10,000 feels far away, especially if you're starting at 3,000. If we take some walking meetings, take a walk after dinner, take 10-minute walks after our meals, that we actually really are pretty easily able to accumulate8,000 steps.
