Listen to this: You can predict your life expectancy by your walk.Do you know that you can predict how long you will live by the speed of your walk?
According to US researchers, they found that your gait can predict how long you live. They say that seniors with the fastest strides lived longer than those with slower walkers. Faster walking speeds consistently correlated with longer ones lifespan.
This interesting study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The researcher said that walking speed indicates vitality or physical fitness. When we move many of our organs are involved. For instance our heart, lungs, muscles, joints, bones, and our brain. In other words, having good physical fitness is good indicator of living a longer life.Well, there is a possibility, in the future doctors can use our gait speed to assess our health.
