Walking 21 minutes daily lowers heart disease risk

Walking for about 21 minutes daily can lower heart disease risk by 30%, according to a 2017 Harvard Health report. The report highlights walking's benefits, including reducing diabetes and cancer risks, and improving mental sharpness. Experts emphasize that walking is beneficial for everyone, regardless of age or health status. It can help prevent diseases and improve health outcomes, especially for those with conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. For those struggling to find time, even short walks can be effective. Starting with just one minute of walking can still provide health benefits. Gradually increasing duration and intensity can enhance results over time.
