Life is movement. Nowadays, many contemporary people will provide themselves to arrange sports plans -running, walking, yoga, iron ... are all possible. Many people do not want to be limited by too many external factors. It is a high probability that they will choose to run or walk, and they feel that they are neither spending money and effective. But which one of these two sports is healthier and more suitable?

First of all, we must know that running and walking are aerobic exercise, that is, the physical exercise of the human body under the condition of full oxygen supply. Everyone wants to run fast when running, and people walk a lot. In fact, such exercise is good, and they must be taken into account.

In the past, scientific proof: 10,000 steps a day is the "best point" of reducing diseases and risk of death. Recently, the research published in the "American Medical Association Magazine -Internal Science" and "American Medical Association Magazine -Neurology" further showed that it is also important to walk fast.

This study entitled "The Daily Muting and Stress of 78430 adults living in the UK". UK BIOBANK's forward -looking queue research based on the crowd (February 2013 to December 2015), followed 6.9 years (data analysis was performed in May 2022). 78,430 of the qualified adults of acceleration meter data. A registered dementia was determined before October 2021.

In other words, researchers monitored 78,500 adults who used wearable trackers, and accumulated more steps daily related to the steady decline in the risk of dementia. About 9800 steps a day is the best "dose" that reduces the risk of dementia by 50%, and above this number, only limited benefits are found. Of course, for people who are not very active, 3800 steps can also reduce the risk of dementia by 25%.

In general, in this queue study, more steps are related to lower all dementia risks. The results of this study also show that the number of steps of higher intensity (rhythm) is related to the lower risk of onset. Cumulative number of steps per day, close to the popular threshold of 10,000 steps per day, and perform the number of steps with higher intensity, perhaps the best choice.

Therefore, in order to maintain health, the ideal goal is not only to take nearly 10,000 steps every day, but also go faster.
