London: A study found that brisk walking can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. According to experts, the risk of diabetes can be removed by making this item a part of your lifestyle.
An international team of researchers including Imperial College London conducted a study to determine walking speed to prevent diabetes.
In the study, scientists reviewed 10 studies published between 1999 and 2022 that included three to 11 years of follow-up.
A total of 58,121 patients from Great Britain, Japan and the United States participated in these studies.
The study found that walking at a speed between 3 km/h and 5 km/h reduced the risk of diabetes by 15 percent compared to walking at a speed of less than 3 km/h. Walking between 5 km/h and 6 km/h reduced the risk of disease by 24%.
According to research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, people who walked at a speed of 6 kilometers per hour were 39 percent less likely to develop the disease.
According to researchers, brisk walking is also good for weight loss by improving insulin sensitivity.
