A new study in @TheLancetPH shows that just 7,000 steps per day has many meaningful benefits, including lower risks of heart disease, cancer mortality, dementia, diabetes, depression, and falls. That's right- walking for health is more achievable than ever. Every step counts!

Earlier this year, a woman attended one of Dr. Nick Johnstone's weekly Walk with a Doc events in Lancaster, UK. She was expecting a nice stroll and a bit of health advice. What she didn’t expect was to recognize a childhood friend that she hadn't seen in over 40 years!
