One study
tracked 1,000 adults during flu season.
Those who walked at a moderate
pace for 30 to 45 minutes a day had
43 percent fewer sick days and fewer
upper respiratory tract infections
overall..
5. Researchers found that walking at an average
pace compared to a slow pace resulted in a 20
percent reduced risk of overall death. But
walking at a brisk or fast pace (at least 4 miles
per hour) reduced the
risk by 24 percent. The study looked at the
association of walking at a
faster pace with factors like overall causes of
death, cardiovascular
disease, and death from cancer.
