Better health with every step
More and more people are choosing to walk in Sydney, especially on weekends. It's now rated the most popular physical activity by people aged 15 years and older.
If the number of adults who walked for 30 minutes a day, five days a week, increased by 10 per cent, it would lead to:
annual savings of $76 million in direct measurable health care costs, and even more in indirect costs
1,038 fewer deaths from heart disease each year
savings of $31 million in cardiovascular disease costs
a reduction in the incidence of diabetes
prevention of 15 per cent of bowel cancer cases.
