Researchers from Leicester University in the UK published a study in the Support magazine Nature investigated genetic data and the walking speed of more than 400,000, showing a causal relationship between the speed of travel speedSet and longevity.The result is that the faster the walking speed, the longer your telomere and the longer you live.Ps pedestrians faster throughout life will be younger than 16 years of biological in middle age.
Specifically, the average walking group of women is expected to be from 86.7 to 87.8 years old;For men is from 85.2 to 86.8 years old.The walking group is slow, the average life expectancy of women is 72.4 years old and of men is 64.8 years old.
This means that pedestrians have a long life more than 15 to 20 years higher than the slow pedestrian.
Another study published in the journal Plos Medicine shows that walking quickly is involved in increasing life expectancy.Specifically, if you walk quickly 2.5 hours per week, your life can last for another 7 years.Even when the accumulation time of walking fast for a week is just an hour and a half, the average life expectancy will be extended for at least two years.
In fact, regardless of the life -long impact, different walking speeds bring many health benefits.
- The benefit of fast walking: fast walking is a relatively high intensity aerobic exercise.By walking fast, people can increase the heart rate and breathing faster, thereby promoting the heart function increases.
In addition, fast walking also helps burn more calories and have a good effect in controlling weight, losing weight.Some studies also show that fast walking can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
- The benefit of slow walking: Although walking slowly is a relatively low intensity exercise, it can still bring many health benefits.Slow walking less affecting joints and more suitable for people with joint problems or limited mobility.
Slow walking can also help reduce stress, improve mood and promote physical relaxation.Some studies also found that slow walking can improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease.
Whether walking fast or slow is good for health.All promote cardiac function, build muscle strength, improve blood circulation and help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, but the specific benefits that they can bring will be different.
No matter which method you choose, it is important to maintain moderate exercise and combine it with a healthy diet and lifestyle to enhance your overall health.
