Slow Walking and Ageing
Getting old might not be something that's yet to cross your mind. , so it's something I'm sure we'd all like to control. That's why scientists are constantly seeking out evidence that will show us what we need to do to achieve longevity.
. To walk 10,000 steps a day or do three brisk 10-minute walks plays an effective role in our health. But the latest research might put a spring in your step if you're accustomed to walking at a fast pace. That's because the speed at which people walk is a sign of how much their brains, as well as their bodies, are ageing.
According to the result of those tested, slower walkers tended to show signs of "accelerated ageing". Their lungs, teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those who walked faster.. Professor Terrie E Moffitt, has proved that a slow walk is a problem sign decades before old age.
This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower gait who might feel it's time to work out and get fitter. But it might be too late; researchers predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence, language and motor skills tests from when they were aged three..
So, what's the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain? Well, researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age, and understanding what this might mean, could be a way of testing treatments to slow human ageing.. Any steps we can take to prolong a good mental and physical state is a no brainer!
