Walking 7,000 steps a day can boost brainpower and protect against diseases like cancer, dementia, and heart disease, according to a recent major study. 🚶‍♀️🧠❤️
This target is more realistic than the popular 10,000 steps, which actually originated from a 1960s marketing campaign 📈. Aiming for 4,000 to 7,000 steps is a great start for better health. 🌟
You don't need to be a Livewell client to attend our wellbeing walks, they are open to everyone! 🏃‍♂️ Follow this link and scroll to 'Livewell Group Walks' for more info 💪

Everyone targets 10,000 steps - but a lower tally could reduce the risk of serious health issues like cancer, dementia and heart disease, a study suggests.
