WALK TO HEALTH & LONGEVITY!

Following the basic requirements of our body and mind in terms of health and longevity, international science has proven that walking is a key prerequisite physically and mentally to cut the risk of debilitating disease and premature death. With special reference to nature’s green environment. ​

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

As you learned from our books and seminars, physical activity – additional to healthy & balanced diet – is indispensable when supporting and heading to good health and longevity. Physically and mentally. 

MEDICAL IMPLICATIONS – SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIED

Dramatically in a positive way are recent findings from research at the
 
- University of Sydney, Australia
   In cooperation with
- University of Southern Denmark in Odense, Denmark
​   &
- University of Cadiz in Cadiz, Spain  

according to which one should walk some 10,000 steps per day to reach this goal.
 
Even more, based on this research, walking at least 2,000 steps a day may well cut down the risk of premature death by more than 10%.
 
Thereby, we may not only appreciate the time to survive before now and death but also see at our health and well-being in between. Because even 2,000 regular steps a day has a positive impact by reducing the risk of those 2 most problematic ‘chronic’ diseases according to World Health Organization’s statistics:
 

• heart failure

 
           &
 

• cancer

 
Not only this, walking 10,000 steps per day may also cut the risk of
 

• dementia

 
by 50%.

Affecting 55 million people globally today and expected to rise to almost 140 million by 2050. As the 7th leading cause of death.
                                                                                 
With 4,000 steps per day, the risk of dementia may cut down at least by 25%.
 
More than that, already 2,000 steps per day, regularly, may cut down the risk of all-cause death by around 10%.
 
Increasing this benefit with power-walk.
 
Recommending by research in Sydney to start with at least 1,000 steps per day and increase it in favor of a power-walk, accordingly. With the benefit to cut down the risk of heart failure and cancer.
 
And those who cannot fit 10,00 steps into their daily schedule may well integrate bursts of 1-2 minutes with maximum speed for power walk.      
 
With almost 80,000 participants involved in this international study with an average age of 61, the scientists came to the conclusion that age is not an issue when it comes to walk 10,000 steps per day.

ADDITIONAL BENEFIT OF NATURE

Research at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Germany’s capital Berlin supports not only the physical benefit of walking but also its mental benefit in terms of
 

• stress

 
release by walking at least for one hour in nature’s green environment.
 

IN A NUTSHELL
