The Impact of Walking on Health
Walking can significantly reduce the risk of all-cause mortality, Alzheimer's dementia, obesity, type 2 diabetes, depression, cancer, and gastric reflux. Research shows that walking 7,000 to 12,000 steps per day can lead to a 50% to 70% lower risk of mortality. Muscle contraction through activities like walking or squats activates AMPK, pushing glucose channels to the cell membrane, which is crucial for processing glucose. Regular muscle contraction throughout the day, instead of one intense workout, ensures that glucose channels are consistently active on the cell membrane. Therefore, incorporating short walking or exercise breaks every 30 minutes can have a substantial impact on overall health.
