“Adults’ gait speed is associated with more than geriatric functional status; it is also associated with midlife aging and lifelong brain health.”
This study shows faster walkers have much better cognitive and physical results at age 45 than slower walkers. In fact, slow walkers were found to have a 1 standard deviation lower IQ than the fastest walkers!
The importance of being active is severely understated in modern society where half the population is chained to a desk for most daylight hours and survives on a diet of processed slop and caffeine.
Go for a walk!
