Professor Daniela Luchini, Head of Medicine Division in Humanitas. The expert noted that the generally accepted norm is more related to the elderly.

walking is a form of exercise accessible to most people. There is no need for special equipment except for auxiliary shoes. This simple activity helps to reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and depression, explains Daniela Luchini. At the same time, the expert noted that this norm applies more to the elderly, being a goal that should be strive for, starting from 3000 steps a day, adding load every two weeks for 1000 steps. This is not enough for young men and women. If, on the other hand, we are talking about young people, my advice is definitely worth raising the load with the help of more complex actions that train the body more. It is not necessary to be satisfied with the minimum, ”the expert notes. The ideal solution of Daniel Lucina considers half an hour of training at a moderate pace. It is desirable for such activity to treat in the morning.
