Why Walking Is Medicine

100 kcal = 2,000 steps = 1.6 km. Walking exercise can provide a safe and effective lifestyle strategy against abdominal obesity, serum insulin resistance, and inflammatory markers.

Walking is one of the easiest and most cost-effective forms of exercise. There is no equipment, no membership, no learning curve.

Try to increase the duration gradually. Even 20 minutes after a meal can meaningfully change how your body handles glucose.
