Health tip...
The Beatles out for a stroll.
Taking 10,000 steps per day is often suggested as a desirable exercise goal for people who wish to improve their health. But a new study of postal workers in Scotland suggests that that number could be too conservative and that, to best protect our hearts, many of us might want to start moving quite a bit more, Gretchen Reynolds reports on nytimes.com.
The findings imply that there are good reasons to get up from our desk chairs and move, even more than many of us may already be trying to do, says Dr. William Tigbe, a physician and public health researcher at the University of Warwick who led the study, according to Reynolds.
“It takes effort,” he says, but we can accumulate 15,000 steps a day by walking briskly for two hours at about a four-mile-per-hour pace, Tigbe says, according to Reynolds.
