Boost Fat Loss by Walking at Optimal Speed, Study Finds

A recent study published in the journal Nutrients suggests that walking at a slower pace can significantly enhance fat loss in postmenopausal women compared to faster walking. The study followed 25 women over 30 weeks, revealing that those who walked at 3.2 miles per hour lost 2.73 times more fat than those walking at 4.1 miles per hour. Researchers theorize that slower walking may promote fat burning over glucose usage, though more research is needed to understand the mechanism.
