Research conclusively proves that walking is good for your health and can actually extend your life. A study in Europe found that walking right around 2 miles a day can reduce your risk of dying from anything!

If that sounds like too much (especially if you haven’t been walking at all), walking just 1,000 steps a day (about 10 minutes’ worth) can reduce your risk of dying by 15%. Walking just 500 steps a day can drop your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by 7%.

So take some steps to increase your lifespan today!
