Well... this looks kinda important! Walking just 3000-5000 steps/day can delay Alzheimer’s-related decline by around3 years, and 5000-7500 steps/day by up to 7 years — even if early disease markers are present. Every step counts. www.newscientist.com/article/2502...
Walking 3000 steps a day seems to slow Alzheimer's-related decline
