Study: Slow Walkers More Likely to Die of Heart Disease
We’ve all thought about shoving slow walkers out of the way when in a hurry - but it turns out they could actually be heading for a far worse fate.
According to a new study, healthy adults who are slow walkers are twice as likely to die from heart disease as those of us who walk at a more brisk pace.
“This suggests that habitual walking pace is an independent predictor of heart-related death,” lead author Professor Tom Yates said.
