How Walking More Each Day with StepChain Can Benefit Heart Failure Patients

Healthy Heart, Healthy Life

A recent study from the University of Michigan found that heart failure patients who increased their daily step count experienced fewer symptoms and physical limitations. The research, published in JACC: Heart Failure, showed that even walking just 1,000 steps daily improved health outcomes.

Interestingly, a decline in steps did not worsen conditions, but maintaining or increasing activity was linked to better health. The study highlights the importance of regular walking for heart health and suggests further research is needed.

The StepChain app is one tool that encourages users to gradually increase their daily step count, promoting better heart health and overall well-being. This highlights the importance of staying active, especially for those managing heart conditions.

We encourage everyone to take their time to ramp up their steps. Everyone should proceed at their own pace. And, of course, check with your doctor before you start ANY exercise program, even walking!
