Study finds 12,000 steps aid teen health
A scientific study found that walking 12,000 steps a day or more significantly enhances the physical and mental health of adolescents. The study involved monitoring over 5,500 teenagers with an average age of 12 using activity trackers and MRI imaging techniques. It revealed that increasing the number of steps is associated with a thicker area in the brain linked to motor and cognitive functions. The study also confirmed that physical activity stimulates the release of beneficial chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin in the brain and reduces cortisol levels, helping to decrease stress and depression. It recommends that parents encourage their children to walk for longer periods each day to achieve visible health and psychological benefits.
