La regla de oro de los 10.000 pasos bajo la lupa

Esta regla de oro es una de las recomendaciones para llevar una vida sana más difundidas. Sin embargo, médicos y especialistas cuestionan ese número.

Entonces,

¿CUÁNTOS PASOS SE DEBERÍAN DAR AL DÍA?

Uno de los factores determinantes a la hora de concretar la cifra es la edad de la persona.

Para los más chicos lo ideal es dar unos 14.000 pasos al día.

La mitad de ellos deben ser de intensidad moderada y la otra mitad de intensidad vigorosa.

Los adolescentes necesitan alrededor de 11.000 pasos diarios.

Para los adultos, algunos médicos indican los 10.000 pasos diarios, de los cuales 3.000 deberían realizarse con cierta intensidad. Menos de 5.000 pasos cada día puede afectar gravemente a la salud.

A partir de los 65 años es más complicado mantener ese ritmo, por eso los especialistas aconsejan

7.000 pasos cada día durante, al menos, cinco días a la semana,
