Today we return to Science Daily and a summary of a recent study on how much walking is needed for alleged health benefits. However, what they always fail to explain is why we see these declining rates in risk of modern “diseases.” Of course, this study is no exception, so I guess I once again have to set the narrative straight.
“A major new study led by the University of Sydney suggests that walking 7000 steps a day offers similar health benefits across several outcomes as walking 10,000.”
For the average person, walking 10,000 steps equates to approximately 7.6 kilometers (4.7 miles). This estimate is based on an average stride length of 0.76 metres (roughly 2.5 feet.) Taller individuals with longer strides may cover up to 8 kilometers, while shorter steps could bring the total closer to 7 kilometers.
So, walking 7000 steps is equivalent to about 5.3 kilometers (3.3 miles.) Considering an average pace of 5.1 km/h (3.2 mph,) walking 7000 steps would take about one hour. That is just shy of what I do in the morning when I wake up and take my first dog walk, where I usually reach about 5000 steps and with 2 or 3 additional walks, I usually reach between 12,000 and 20,000 steps a day. So, 7000 is not that difficult unless you’re really unhealthy.
However, the question remains. Why would it be beneficial? Is really 7000 or 10,000 steps a day a goal to aim for?
Well, that depends a lot on your diet, and I’ll get to that.
“Led by Professor Melody Ding from the School of Public Health, the study was published in The Lancet Public Healthand analysed data from 57 studies from 2014 to 2025 that were conducted in more than ten countries including Australia, USA, UK and Japan.”
“The largest and most comprehensive review to date, the researchers examined the impact that different daily step counts have on the chance of dying from cardiovascular disease and cancer, and developing diseases such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, dementia and depression.”
I’ve covered cardiovascular disease and modern unnecessary “diseases” such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, dementia and depression in depth in several articles. And the most common denominator between these “diseases” is that of the diet, and more precisely the idiotic consumption of carbohydrates and seed/vegetable oils.
In short, carbohydrates turn into glucose, something that our body already manufactures via gluconeogenesis at perfect and precise amounts. Unnaturally elevated levels of blood glucose via carbohydrates causes extreme damage to the cardiovascular system, to all organs and soft tissues. And seed/vegetable oils are fatty acids with a different chemical structure and are not recognized by the body and have to be broken down and converted to be of any use, a process that is very damaging and the fatty acids that remain unchanged causes a lot of damage including plaque in your arteries.
So, if you understand simple physiology and what physical activity, such as exercise or walking actually does, you should clearly see why it can help among people deceived to consume these toxic food stuffs — which, unfortunately, is about 95 % of population or so — the 95 % of the population that are at risk for these “diseases.”
Yes, any physical activity uses “energy,” as in using up some of that elevated blood glucose and incompatible fatty acids that float around. That is the main reason why we see a decrease in diseases from physical activity, as the energy expenditure mitigates some of the damage that otherwise would take place as the body would struggle with lowering toxic blood sugar and clearing out toxic fatty acids.
Of course, there are some other small benefits to being physically active, as in stimulating your muscle- and bone mass, preventing loss of this essential tissue, as well as stimulating the lymphatic system. However, none of this requires 7000 or 10,000 steps a day, it only requires you to move around a little now and then all through the day.
“Aiming for 7000 steps is a realistic goal based on our findings, which assessed health outcomes in a range of areas that hadn’t been looked at before, said Professor Ding.”
Nah, nonsense. Fix your diet instead as that is a thousandfold more important for any health outcome. Then simply move around as you feel like. Take a walk because you enjoy it, not to reach some silly step count.
If you follow our species-appropriate diet of animal-based foods, you will be fat adapted and you will be in ketosis most of the time. And that means that your body will produce glucose as needed and that your levels will never be above the toxic threshold — your glucose will be perfectly controlled 24/7. Also, you will not get any toxic seed/vegetable oils, no toxic defense chemicals, antinutrients, heavy metals, deuterium, or pesticide residues from any plant-based or processed food — so your toxic load will be minimal and thus you will heal and become healthy. No 7000 steps needed for that.
“However, for those who cannot yet achieve 7000 steps a day, even small increases in step counts, such as increasing from 2000 to 4000 steps a day, are associated with significant health gain.”
Again, because you use up some of that blood glucose that otherwise would inflict damage on your cardiovascular system, organs, and soft tissues. Exercise should not be a band-aid to a shitty diet and lifestyle, as seen in most sports and especially Fitness, it should be a natural part of your life in moderation as exercise is stressful and will cause wear and tear, as in accelerated aging. It’s about finding a balance for what you enjoy and like. And again, the diet is the most important component, especially since the human race has been deceived into consuming slave garbage — the only animal in our entire world that does not follow his or her species-specific and species-appropriate diet, and we’re paying the price for it with “disease” and premature death.
After this, Science Daily summarized the findings between walking only 2000 steps a day and that of 7000 steps, which is quite irrelevant if you understand what really matters. More physical activity is only beneficial up to a certain point if you poison your body with carbohydrates and/or seed/vegetable oils. That also means that once you move past a certain amount of activity, it becomes detrimental instead due to the inflicted stress on the muscles, other tissues, joints, the heart and your metabolism.
So, again, the best approach is, as always, to adhere to our species-appropriate and natural human diet while simply being somewhat physically active, depending on your own preferences. It’s not complicated, just look at other carnivorous animals in nature.
