A meta-analysis of several studies, involving 459,833 participants in total, found that the simple act of walking reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease by 31% and lowered the risk of death from all causes by 32%. The benefits were evident even in individuals who walked as little as 5 miles per week and those who walked at a leisurely (two miles per hour) pace. But the individuals who saw the greatest protection from disease were people who walked longer distances at a brisk clip.

Walking strengthens bones, improves balance, regulates blood pressure, lowers cholesterol, tones muscles, and improves sleep. It also lowers the risk for breast cancer, treats chronic lower back pain, and can prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes.
