Seven Years

Fiona Macrae, writing for the Daily Mail, reports on the life extending benefits of walking:

Walking for just two-and-a-half hours a week could add more than seven years to your life, researchers believe.

The study found even half of that is beneficial, with 75 minutes of brisk walking a week enough to extend life by almost two years.

Building walkable communities may well be a matter of life or death for some people.
