Brisk Walks Linked to Lower Cancer Risk, Study Affirms
TheWkly Analysis
Oxford, UK: A major study involving 85,000 adults found that increasing total steps per day is linked to lower cancer risk, with the greatest benefit around 9,000 steps. Researchers noted it’s the overall activity that matters more than speed. Participants who increased daily walking from under 2,000 steps to about 5,000 steps saw notable risk reductions across multiple cancer types. Experts advise that any consistent movement helps, reinforcing the idea that “every step counts.”
