A recent study showed that the general idea is that the step for 10,000 steps a day achieves major health benefits, and not completely accurately from a scientific point of view, as similar results can be achieved by walking for fewer steps, according to the “Financial Times” newspaper. The idea of “10,000 steps” is related to a marketing campaign dating back to the last century, and it was one of the innovation of the Japanese company “Yamasa” to sell steps during the 1964 Olympics, and since then it has become a common ‘wisdom’. Scientists have found that the common purpose is not necessarily the gold standard, as the mortality rate for all causes by almost half of those who run 7,000 steps has dropped compared to a person who has completed only 2000 steps. “The steps sign has certainly marketed well … I think it has great general health benefits – 10 thousand steps a good approximate number, so it is suitable to set goals – although it is not based on scientific evidence,” says Ding, the lead author of the study published in the magazine “Lancet” for public health. 7 thousand steps and the researchers have analyzed data over 160 thousand adults to study how the risk of serious health problems otherwise the number of steps cut daily, otherwise, and this work, based on dozens of previous studies, is a prominent view of the impact of the movement, including the goal of the 10,000 famous steps. The total mortality rate for people who followed 7,000 steps fell by 47% compared to those who followed only two thousand steps, and the risk of health problems for those who followed 7,000 steps, including death due to cardiovascular disease and cancer, in addition to type 2 diabetes and dementia. The positive aspects of the movement were clearer as the death rate dropped by 48% of those who walked 10,000 steps compared to two thousand. Ding pointed out that 10,000 steps are still linked to better results than 7,000 steps for some health cases, such as an additional 14% decrease in the risk of symptoms of depression. “It is clear that I do not advise those who walk 10,000 steps a day to return to 7,000,” says Ding, a Professor of Public Health at the University of Sydney. He continued: “After about 7,000 steps, health profits for every thousand extra step, which means that the return on investment is less.” Steps a day should be the best goal for optimal health, “says Daniel Billy, a researcher in stable and health behavior at Brunil University in London. A more realistic goal and achievement of the best results is to walk from 5000 to 7000 steps a day, which will be more investigative for many people than the informal purpose of 10,000 steps. are the benefits of more than 10,000 steps. Portsmouth said that the study shows that the specific purpose “should not receive great attention.”
