Slow walkers beware: A sluggish pace can already signal “accelerated aging” in adults in their 40s, while those who naturally walk more briskly may have younger brains and bodies, a new study has found.
Doctors know a slow walk in elderly people can indicate poor health, but the new research indicates much younger slow walkers also show signs associated with physical and mental decline.
Gait speed is fascinating because it offers so many clues about a person’s health. It’s also a health marker anyone can easily measure. Follow the link to see how to measure your walking speed. |

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |
