ISSUE 6 – Small Steps, Big Changes: How 30 Minutes Can Transform Your Wellness
Are you tracking your daily steps to improve your health? But did you know that the popular “10,000 steps a day” goal is mostly a marketing scheme? This week, we explore the science behind step tracking and discuss how to achieve health benefits with or without technology. We also examine the food industry’s lack of progress in making healthier products and consider sustainable options for conscious eating. Studies show that as little as 30 minutes of moderate exercise per day can lead to significant health improvements, and that the biggest benefits come from increasing step counts from under 3,000 to 4-5,000 steps per day.
