Did you know that the myth of 10,000 steps did not originate from science, but from marketing? 😱
The Japanese company that was one of the first to release a step tracker chose this number not because of research, but because it is simple, easy to remember, and motivates people to count their activity - and therefore buy the gadget.
So 10,000 steps is not a panacea, but rather a successful advertising idea 🫧
