I think walking is so underrated. It's essentially a form of exercise that's accessible to everyone.
00:08
And we saw a meta-analysis done by a journal called the European Journal of Preventative
00:14
Cardiology and they found that just a thousand steps in addition to your normal steps can
00:20
reduce your risk of dying from all causes by 15%. And even just 500 steps a day in addition
00:28
could reduce your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by 7%. So that's huge for just a few
00:35
steps. I like the numbers. I love the numbers.
