Walk fast or slow? Here's what this shows about your health...

We had never imagined that there is a connection between our speed of walking and our health. Recent studies have revealed exactly what it means to spend six miles [1.6 km] walking and how fast walking is linked to premature death.

Walking is not just a physical exercise that keeps us in shape, but the way we walk can reveal much about our health and life span. All those who engage in spiritual walking, who have fast and sharp walks, usually live longer than those who walk slowly and calmly.

By “York Times”, slow pedestrians are 44% more likely to die prematurely than those who cross their path faster and without problems. Those who walk slowly also have 18% more likely to be affected by heart disease and malaria.

The connection between fast - paced walking and life expectancy is set up after a extensive study that included over 400,000 people in America for whom walking is regular physical training. After the investigation, the results were compared to the national death index.

Which walk is too slow?

If you need 24 minutes to travel six miles [1.6 km], you risk premature death. The less endangered group, however, includes those who pass the same distance for 13.5 minutes. According to experts, a slow walk can be a symptom of a man's health problem that has not yet been detected, and you will surely find out if you submit to a six - minute walking test to determine your health.

This test means walking 400 meters rather than a mile [1.6 km]. With the help of a clock, the time is measured for which you can pass that distance. If you need exactly six minutes or more, you are in the slowest pedestrian category and the risk of disease is higher.

If you have discovered that you are slow - tempered, you do not need to be afraid, but you need to take it as a little warning to visit your doctor and devote yourself to more health.
