Most people envision flying across the world by plane, but never by foot. But Sydney-born 27-year-old Australian Alexander Campbell has decided to set out on a four-year walking journey that will take him across more than 30 nations and four continents! And guess what? His present location is in Bangladesh!
We all know the power of a good stroll, but what if we told you that the key to a longer, healthier life could be within reach with just 4,000 steps a day? Yes, you read that right. The latest research, hot off the press from the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, unveils a fascinating truth: the path to vitality might be simpler than we ever imagined!
Improving Dhaka’s walkability will be a long journey
“It doesn’t matter what field you’re talking about – beating somebody else just doesn’t do it for me. I’m much more interested in whether I reach the goals that I set for myself, so in this sense long-distance running is the perfect fit for a mindset like mine,” renowned Japanese writer Haruki Murakami wrote in his memoir, titled: What I talk about when I talk about running.
For one, walking is known to greatly improve your mental health and your mood. Secondly, it will also help you lose calories and maintain a healthy weight, as walking daily can increase your metabolism.

A walkable city prioritises pedestrians over motorised vehicles in urban planning.
Walking can be an effective and accessible way for post-menopausal women to improve their heart health according to new US research, which finds that walking for at least 40 minutes several times per week could reduce the risk of heart failure.
