In today’s episode, Greg presents a deep dive into the multifaceted benefits of walking. Rather than focusing exclusively on correlations from observational studies, this Research Roundup covers several meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials. During the conversation, Greg and Eric discuss how walking might impact general health and wellness, in addition to performance, recovery, and body composition. After that, Eric answers a listener’s question about pre-bed protein consumption, and Greg shares some interesting biographical information about the host of the show. SUPPORT THE PODCASTReceive our Research Spotlight newsletter, and check out our Facebook group and subreddit.MacroFactorIf you want to learn more about our MacroFactor diet app, check it out  here.To join in on the MacroFactor conversation, check out our Facebook group and subreddit.Bulk SupplementsFinally, next time you stock up on supplements from BulkSupplements.com, be sure to use the promo code “SBSPOD” (all caps) to get 5% off your entire order. TIME STAMPSIntro/Announcements (0:00)Road to the Stage / Road to Athens (4:54)Research Roundup: the multifaceted benefits of walking (6:26)Research Spotlight: Walking away from an early graveWalking - general health and wellness implications (6:59)Daily Step Count and All-Cause Mortality: A Dose-Response Meta-analysis of Prospective Cohort StudiesThe effect of walking on fitness, fatness and resting blood pressure: A meta-analysis of randomised, controlled trialsThe effect of walking intervention on blood pressure control: a systematic reviewA meta-analysis of pedometer-based walking interventions and weight lossWalking for depression or depressive symptoms: A systematic review and meta-analysisWalking and primary prevention: a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studiesInactivity Causes Resistance to Improvements in Metabolism After ExerciseIs there evidence that walking groups have health benefits?
