  • Many people think 10,000 steps a day is the ultimate goal for staying healthy. However, that number might not be the best for everyone. Here's a breakdown of how many steps you should aim for each day,

The article from MSN discusses the optimal number of daily steps one should aim for based on age, referencing a study published in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity. It highlights that while the general recommendation is 10,000 steps per day, this number can vary with age. For instance, younger adults might benefit from higher step counts to maintain fitness, whereas older adults might need fewer steps but should focus on consistency and safety. The study suggests that for adults aged 18-65, aiming for 8,000 to 10,000 steps can significantly improve health outcomes, reducing risks of various diseases. For those over 65, the recommendation drops to about 7,000 steps, emphasizing the importance of regular movement to prevent muscle atrophy and maintain cardiovascular health. The article also notes that any increase in daily steps from a sedentary baseline can offer health benefits, encouraging people to start with what they can manage and gradually increase their activity level.
