Longer Daily Walks Boost Heart Health and Longevity

TL;DR Summary
A new study suggests that taking longer walks of at least 15 minutes is more beneficial for heart health than multiple short strolls, especially for less active individuals. Walking continuously for about 1,500 steps provides a good workout, and longer walking sessions can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and death, even among those who are less active. Experts emphasize the importance of walking patterns, not just step count, for improving cardiovascular health.
