Dr. Merrill said that walking less than four thousand steps a day is enough
Scientists have named the required number of steps per day to prevent dementia. This was reported by Gazeta.Ru with reference to a study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease (JAD).
Experts analyzed MRI images of the brains of ten thousand people. Scientists have concluded that regular physical activity has a positive effect on brain function. At the same time, normal walking is sufficient for prevention.
“We found that even moderate levels of physical activity, such as walking fewer than four thousand steps a day, can have a positive effect on brain health,” explained David Merrill, MD.
The number of steps required to burn calories after eating junk food was previously revealed. According to the study, after eating pizza with sausage, a person will need to walk 61 thousand steps, after drinking a glass of red wine or a glass of beer – five thousand steps.
