In the recent past, cardiologists have started favouring walking instead of running as walking is considered good for heart health. Notably, a recent study is also suggesting so.
Cardiovascular exercises are important to keep the heart healthy and for this walking and running play an important role. There are various benefits of doing cardio as it pumps blood faster, helps to remove all the debris or plaque that blocks the arteries, and lowers the risk of any stroke or heart disease.
Compared to running, walking puts less stress on the heart and lowers the risk of untimely death. In the research, it was found that the risk of high blood pressure was reduced by 4.2 per cent by running and 7.2 per cent by walking.
