10,000 daily steps not needed: A much lower walking target can help reduce brain disease risk, finds new study

A 10,000-step daily target may not be necessary to support brain health. Researchers have found that a much lower number of daily steps is linked to slower cognitive decline and changes associated with Alzheimers disease. The findings also reveal why walking more may not always mean greater benefits, offering a fresh perspective on how a simple daily habit could help protect the ageing brain.
