A new study underscores that people can reap significant benefits from a comparatively small number of daily steps. Researchers analyzed 17 studies that looked at how many steps people took, typically in a weeklong period, and followed up on their health outcomes after around seven years. They concluded that a habit of walking just under 4,000 steps (30-45 minute walk or roughly two miles) per day reduced the risk of dying from any cause, including from cardiovascular disease and mortality risk decreased by 15 percent with an additional 1,000 steps.
