Add a few steps and live!

We often hear that we should walk 10,000 steps a day for health, but is that true?

A new study from Europe says no.

If you average around 3,500 steps like many Americans, you can add as little as 500 extra steps a day. That 4,000 steps can help you reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, according to Health.com.

That study is just one of a series of new studies indicating that small changes add up to big benefits. Want to lose weight, improve mobility, or health? Start small with a few steps, one healthy meal a day, or just fewer snacks.
