Forget 10,000 steps, just 4,400 a day will help you live longer
Forget the 10,000 steps dictum—you can get most of the health benefits by walking around 4,400 steps a day.
You'll get more benefit by walking a little further still—to around 7,700 steps a day—but after that you're just walking for walking's sake, say researchers from Harvard Medical School.
They looked at the walking habits of 16,741 women, with an average age of 72, who agreed to wear a tracking device that counted their steps. During the four years of the study, 504 of the women died—and they were the ones who moved the least, often averaging fewer than 2,700 steps a day. As the number of steps walked increased, the mortality level dropped until it plateaued at 7,700 steps.
"We were quite surprised that such a relatively small number of steps would be associated with such a substantial reduction in mortality," said researcher I-Min Lee.
The speed of walking didn't seem to be so significant. Many of the women strolled, and still saw the same health benefits as the few who walked more speedily.
The findings question the idea of walking 10,000 steps a day, which seems to have come from a Japanese clock maker who made an early pedometer whose name translates as "10,000 steps".

Along with landline phones and bar soap, top sheets are allegedly an "endangered species".
It's a topic of discussion that crops up every year or so and in some places, using a top sheet when you make your bed is almost unheard of. What's your preference?

This World Refugee Day, we challenge everyone in New Zealand to join together and take a step to make a difference.
You can take part in the #StepWithRefugees campaign, where participants will collectively walk, run and cycle 1 billion miles - the distance refugees cover each year to reach safety, by adding your steps here: stepwithrefugees.org...
Another option is to volunteer with the New Zealand Red Cross as a Refugee Support Volunteer. Volunteers help families start again, while teaching them about New Zealand culture and connecting them with people from the community.
For anyone based in the Wairarapa, Masterton Neighbourhood Support has a programme called 'WeConnect' that matches new residents from diverse backgrounds including refugees to a local buddy. If you're interested in volunteering or supporting the programme in other ways you can email Masterton Neighbourhood Support Area Coordinator, Cathy Cameron, at: cathy@connectingcommunities.org.nz
