The number of steps you should walk every day to start seeing benefits to your health is lower than previously thought, according to the largest analysis to investigate this. The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, found that walking at least 3967 steps a day started to reduce the risk of dying from any cause, and 2337 steps a day reduced the risk of dying from diseases of the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease).

    You read about her because that’s a heck of a lot rarer and more interesting as a headline than “woman dies in car crash” or “woman dies of heart attack”.

    Also sometimes trees fall on cars or houses when people are in them, too.

    Edit: I am probably taking your comment far too seriously, admittedly.
