‘10,000 steps don’t undo 10 hours of sitting’: Vascular surgeon suggests the ‘real rule’ that could make a difference
Long hours of sitting, even with a daily 10,000-step goal, pose significant health risks, warns vascular surgeon Dr. Sumit Kapadia. Research indicates that prolonged immobility raises heart and vascular issues, which a single walk can't fully negate. Experts now emphasize frequent, short movement breaks throughout the day over solely relying on step counts for better circulation and long-term well-being.
