@newagelongevity: Walking at a brisk pace was linked to a 24% lower risk of death than walking slowly, and 21% lower from heart disease, in 50,225 British walkers. Researchers pooled 11 population surveys from England and Scotland and linked them to death records. People who said they usually walked at an average pace had a 20% lower risk of death than slow walkers; brisk or fast walkers had a 24% lower risk. The link held in people over 50 and in people who did no other vigorous exercise. There was no link with cancer deaths. The pace of a walk was linked to the risk, not only the distance.
