Put on your walking shoes and don’t forget your step counter: You can reduce your risk for cancer, heart disease, dementia and early death by getting up to 10, 000 steps a day, but any amount of walking helps, according to a new study.

Health benefits rose with every step, the new study found, but reached the highest point at 10, 000 steps, lowering risk for dementia by 50%—after that the effects faded. Counting steps may be especially important for people who do unstructured, unplanned physical activity such as house work, gardening and dog walks.

“We especially detected a connection between incidental steps (steps taken to go about daily life) and a lower risk of both cancer and heart disease,” noted study coauthor Borja del Pozo Cruz, a senior researcher in health sciences for the University of Cadiz in Spain.

“In general, I think the study is well done and it certainly continues to add to the foundation of knowledge that tells us exercise is good stuff,” said Dr. Andrew Freeman. He was not involved in the research.

“Physical activity is just absolutely magnificent,” Freeman said. “And when you blend that with eating a more plant-based diet, de-stressing, sleeping enough and connecting with others—that’s your magic recipe. It’s the fountain of youth, if you will.”
