Importance of Walking for Longevity

Walking, especially at a good frequency, is crucial for living a longer and healthier life. Individuals like the speaker's friend's grandparents, aged 102 and 99, attribute their longevity to walking two to three miles daily. While the average American only gets around 3,000 steps a day, the research indicates that aiming for 6,000 to 8,000 steps brings significant health benefits. Studies show that even moderate increases in daily steps can lead to substantial reductions in mortality rates.
