Hey there, Trailblazers!

Getting ahead of the curve is always a thrill, isn’t it? Whether it’s sniffing out the latest vegan cafe in town, booking that underground band before they hit mainstream, or discovering that the hobbits of Middle Earth actually prophesized the gut health revolution way before it became headline news.

Don’t remember that part in Lord of The Rings? Maybe it was the director’s cut.

Now, don’t fret. This isn’t about adventures in mythical lands. It’s about a small adventure you can embark on every day – the 8,000 steps. Indeed, the road to good health may seem like a long one, but as our hobbit friends taught us – even the longest journey begins with a single step (or 8,000 in our case).

Now, why 8,000 steps and not the commonly touted 10,000? Well, let’s look at some science. A 2020 study indicated that just over 7,500 steps a day can reduce mortality rates in older women by approximately 41%. The best part? The benefits plateau beyond those steps. That means you don’t have to feel like a freewheeling hamster on a wheel trying to get in those extra 2,000 steps.

Here’s where the plot thickens. The benefits of walking extend beyond cardiovascular health, weight management, and improved mood. It’s about as close to an elixir of life as we can get, particularly for that unsung hero of our bodies – the colon.

Colon cancer, one of the widely prevalent and deadly types of cancer, has seen a steady increase in recent years. A disconcerting headline reads, “Gut Toxins and 50,000 Deaths.” Not quite the morning news you like to sip your coffee with, right?

But, there’s hope! Our bodies are wonderfully resilient, and with lifestyle choices like a balanced diet and regular exercise, you can go a long way in safeguarding your colon health. That’s right, we’re talking about the 8,000 steps!

The magic of the 8,000 daily steps lies in its impact on your gut health. Walking 8,000 steps promotes healthier gut microbiota, reducing inflammation and the risk of chronic diseases like, you guessed it, colon cancer.

Imagine that – lacing up those snazzy trainers of yours and walking could be a game-changer in defending your body against one of the deadliest diseases.

Now, we understand that tracking your sleep, nutrition, and steps could seem daunting. You’re already huffing and puffing to finish those last steps, and we don’t want you to hyperventilate over keeping track of all of it.
