A recent study found that every 1,000 steps you walk (above 4,000) reduces your risk of dying by 15%.

But before you go out and start walking loads, let me explain what's going on here. https://t.co/suO7g8Geay

A high step count is not the reason why people are less likely to die.

This looked at data from over 200,000 people.

What do you think the daily habits of those who did the most steps look like?

People who do the most steps probably:

- Partake in regular exercise
- Have better diets
- Drink and smoke less, or not at all 
- Don't spend most of every day commuting and sitting at a desk...

Doing more steps isn't going to move the needle that much in terms of extending your life.

It's what a higher step count likely means about 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚.

The same goes for studies that find a correlation between grip strength and longer life.

Don't just train your grip and expect to live longer.

Think about WHY someone would have a strong grip.

They probably strength train and they probably aren't sick and feeble.

It's important to think critically when interpreting results of studies.
