Longer life: A study of some 8,000 men published in the magazine New England Journal of Medicine found that over 12 years, walking two miles a day dropped the risk of death by nearly 50 percent.

Lower weight: Several studies have shown that walking from 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day-about four to five miles-is highly effective as a way of cutting down our weight.

A better brain: The National Council on Aging found that walking 45 minutes a day may be very helpful with memory in people over age 60. 56. What is probably Dr. Andrew Weil?
