New Evidence of Stairway Walking's Health Benefits!

The October, 2013 issue of a prestigious cancer research journal reports that postmenopausal women who walk at least 7 hours per week have a 14% lower risk of breast cancer than those who walk less than 3 hours per week.

The study followed almost 75,000 postmenopausal women for 17 years. In a separate analysis, women in the study who were most active across any of a range of activities such as walking, running, bicycling, and tennis had a 25% lower risk of breast cancer compared to the least active group.

Are you a woman who loves urban hiking? Since stair climbing burns more than three times the calories compared to just walking on a flat surface, we like to think that sprinkling stairways into your route gives a little added boost to that health benefit!
