Here are some excerpts to open your eyes:
Walking not only increases a person’s physical activity and controls weight gain, but also has many important health benefits, including maintaining heart health, improving cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and improving mood.
Most experts agree that walking 6,000 steps daily can improve a person’s health, and that taking 10,000 steps a day will contribute to weight loss.
In fact, research shows that women who averaged more than 10,000 steps a day had 40% less body fat and waist and hip measurements, and were four to six inches narrower than those who averaged fewer than 6,000 steps.
Time to get a pedometer if you haven't got one yet :)
