The Journal of the American Medical Association published a study saying that the U.S. approach can predict the longevity of a person.
According to researchers, a person walking faster live longer.
After reviewing 35 000 people over 75 years, we note that 87% of men who walked more quickly lived ten years longer than their slower counterparts, while the rates were 91% for women.
Walking is one of the best physical activities for older people, especially because it promotes better brain health.
However, according to researcher Stephanie Studenski, it's not just walking quickly because our body itself selects the walking speed that is best for our overall health.
That is why, a simple walk test allows a quick diagnosis of the overall health of a patient.
