For a long time, society has cultivated a myth about the benefits of 10 thousand steps a day.

It was believed that this way one could maintain health and keep weight normal.

When this recommendation was studied, it turned out that it has no scientific basis and, in general, taking fewer steps is enough to maintain health.

What about weight loss?

Those whose goal is to lose excess weight need to take at least 7 thousand steps a day.

This is what experts recommend for everyone who wants to stay slim, not just those who are losing weight for the summer.

Otherwise, the risk of becoming overweight will increase.

It is also important to remember that a sedentary lifestyle often leads to overeating.
