What does walking speed indicate for your health?

Recent studies have revealed exactly what the time during which you spend 15 miles [1.6 km] walking means, and what the speed of walking with premature death is.

Walking is not just a fine physical exercise that keeps us in shape, but how 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.

According to the New York Times, slow pedestrians are 44 percent more likely to die prematurely than those who cross their path faster and without problems. Those who walk slowly are also 18 percent more likely to be affected by heart disease and dementia.

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

Which walk is too slow? People who are most likely to die early are those who need 24 minutes to spend a mile, or 1.6 kilometers, while less endangered groups include those who cross the same distance for more than 13.5 minutes.

The slower walk, experts say, may be a symptom of a man's health problem that has not yet been detected, and you will surely find out if you are subject to a six-minute walking test to determine your state of health.

This test does not mean walking six miles [1.6 km] but, rather, at 400 meters. 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 a slower trigger or walk, you do not need to be afraid, take this as a small warning to see your doctor, conduct a systematic examination, and devote yourself to a little more.
