But here is the solution. There is boosting research done in order to buck up one and engage him in walking fast. Academics from Duke University in North Carolina conducted a study and have published their findings in the Journal of the American Medical Association. They researched and concluded that fast walkers have healthier minds compared to the slow pace walkers.

The study said that slow walkers have shown many symptoms of accelerating aging and signs showed that their lungs teeth and immune system tend to be in worse shape. More than nine hundred men and women were chosen from New Zealand to conduct this study and researchers were able to link a slower gait to poor health. To make the study more effective they tracked them from when they were just toddlers and asked them to engage in regular tests until the one final test at 45-years-old.

Dr. Line Rasmussen led the research and told that “The thing that’s really striking is that this is in 45-year-old people not the geriatric patients who are usually assessed with such measures.”

But it was not only just physical health that was flagged with slower walkers. Researches also concluded and came up with their data stating that toddlers with lower IQ scores or linguistic ability or capacity to tolerate frustration or motor skills and emotional control were also linked with a slow gait.

However there are various alternatives been put up to help. One of the Chinese city realized that there are people who tend to stroll when they’re on their phone and has developed a special lane for those who reckon it’s more important to read Facebook or Twitter while they’re walking than actually looking at what’s around them.

A similar lane has been established that is one thousand feet long and has been painted in the Shaanxi Province around a shopping center. There have been similar lanes built in the Chinese province of Chongqing as well as Washington DC with the latter being a social experiment for National Geographic.

Whether it is right or wrong in your opinion but the numbers of accidents are caused by majorly due to the mobile user. The Guardian noted a study from Ohio University that said that there were 1506 cases in 2010 compared to just 256 in 2005.
