Micro-walks—short, frequent bursts of walking throughout the day—can help break up prolonged sitting and support better metabolic health.

Family nurse practitioner Tore Flavin says emerging research shows that even brief movement can stimulate muscles, improve glucose levels and increase overall daily energy expenditure.

While the classic 10,000-step goal is a helpful benchmark, it isn’t realistic for everyone. Micro-walks offer a practical way to build movement into your day and work toward a step goal that fits your lifestyle.

Taking a few short walks throughout the day may help reduce the health risks associated with sedentary behavior—and make staying active feel more achievable.

We are absolutely thrilled that Dr. Nikhil Patel came home to Wilmington to practice cardiology. We remember him coming to work with his dad as a child and we are so proud that he followed in his dad’s footsteps. What a legacy for our practice.

He has a passion for patient care and is already showing how committed he is to patients. ❤️

A childhood spent watching his cardiologist father at work, personal loss, and global health experiences shaped Dr. Nikhil Patel’s patient-first approach to heart care at Novant Health.
