You’ve probably heard that 10,000 steps a day is best for your health. Not only was this figure a marketing tool at first, however, but some research has found that the true sweet spot is around 7,000 steps daily.
That distance has been linked to a lower likelihood of all-cause mortality, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even dementia.
Other studies have found different, and generally positive, results for other step counts, too.
