Walking is always considered an essential exercise that is likely to have a long-term benefit on the individual. It helps keep the body in a fit condition and reduces the likelihood of counteracting different types of communicable and non-communicable diseases. It is the most feasible and purposeful exercise that must be undertaken by all individuals, even for a very short time. Walking is always recommended for all age groups and in all kinds of health conditions. 

A recent study has found that the speed at which a person walks also plays an essential role in determining his health condition. It is believed that the different speed at which a person walks determines the likelihood of the human body suffering from different diseases like cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The positive effects of walking can be experienced in 7 to 8 years. It reduces the side effects of aging and different health problems that take a toll on the human body. 

Conducting A Study

It is essential to conduct a study in this regard. For conducting a study, it is necessary to focus on three types of groups. These three groups are the ones where people walk at different speeds. The first category includes the people who walk around 2000 to 3000 steps daily. The second category includes people who work from 3000 to 7000 steps per day. The last category covers all the persons who work around 10000 steps daily or even more. 

Increasing Your Walking Speed Improves Your Health

The analysis was based on the premise that with an addition of 2000 steps in your daily working schedule, the risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer can be reduced to a great extent. Not only this but also short-term effects like weight loss and confidence generation can take place in a very unexpected way. The research generated the result that the number of steps and the speed at which the steps were taken allows the individual to decide on his health in the upcoming years. All of this could be responsible for reducing the risk of death by 35% before the age of 50.
