The effect that walking has on the body depends not only on the number of steps but also on the speed of movement, stated general practitioner Hussein Ahmad.
As reported by BAKU.WS, he named the main condition for getting benefits from walking to the HuffPost.
According to Ahmad, to get a positive effect, one should walk five times a week for 30 minutes. A longer walk may be useless if done slowly or at a measured pace. "Ideally, the pace should be fast enough for the body to warm up and breathing to become heavier, but still allowing you to maintain a conversation," the doctor explained.
The specialist noted that brisk walking reduces the risk of premature death by 20 percent, and the positive effect will be present even if the walking time is reduced to 11 minutes.
