Would you still indulge in that cupcake if the menu showed you had to walk more than an hour to burn off the calories?
Chances are no. A new study has found that menus featuring the number of minutes of brisk walking it’ll take you to burn it off leads to people choosing healthier foods (more so than menus featuring calories or no extra info at all).
Cupcake, Wedding Dish.

Great news for those of you who prefer walking to running: Walking moderately intensely gives you comparable health benefits as running vigorously says a six-year study when it comes to reducing your risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
(And while I know there are surely better walking shoes out there, ones designed for walking specifically, than these Nike Dunks, these are the sneaks I’m coveting and what I’d wear to walk to meetings and events. Cute, right?)

I walk at least 75 percent of the time lately to get where I need to go. Not just for the exercise (though Harley Pasternak says it’s a key step to staying in shape), but also to save $ and because I have very little patience for the unreliable transit system here in Toronto. (You may have read the occasional rant-y tweet from me about streetcar breakdowns…).
And a new study from the World Health Organization has figured out that short stints on foot rather than by car or motorbike would avoid the death of 108 men and 79 women a year in Catalonia, Spain, alone.
Walking FTW.
