gm, if you don't know the story behind 10k steps, you're in for a treat

japanese scientists hooked up step counters to japanese office workers because japenese office workers were healthier than other countries

they got 8k steps on average

usa heart doctors looked at this data and said us can do better

and added 2k

yes 10k is arbitrary but the more steps you walk the lower your risk of all-cause mortality

ser can you read the research you cite, please?

> over the cut-off point of 3867 steps/day for all-cause mortality and only 2337 steps for CV mortality

10k steps has no scientific causality data, and even worse — research points at the fact that there are diminishing returns *after 3500 steps a day*

us doctors, once again, gave people false confidence that people are doing right things to stay healthy, while hiding true reasons behind obesity and coronary disease

it continues to drop the more steps you walk, what do you mean?
