"Speed Up Your Walk to Slash Type 2 Diabetes Risk, Say Experts"

A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine reveals that walking at a brisk pace can significantly lower the risk of type 2 diabetes compared to walking at a casual pace. Brisk walking (3-4 mph) is associated with a 24% lower risk, while striding (over 4 mph) is linked to a 39% lower risk. Additionally, walking for 15 minutes a day can boost immunity and reduce cravings, and 7,000 daily steps can cut the risk of cardiovascular disease by more than half. Walking after meals is particularly beneficial for heart health and blood glucose regulation.
