CNN —Ten thousand steps per day have long been known as the magic number needed to lower risk of disease and early death. What researchers didn’t know was whether the amount could have the same effect even for people who are sedentary most of the day. Get 10,000 steps a day to potentially counteract the impacts of being too sedentary, a new study suggests. You’re not supposed to be sitting at a computer for 12 hours a day and barely moving,” Freeman said. “Exercise is great for you, and it is truly the magic elixir that hits virtually every disease we take care of,” Freeman said.

Number of steps: Aim for 9,800 - 10,000 a dayFor every 2,000 steps, risk of heart disease, cancer and premature death decreases by 10%, peaking at 10,000 steps each day, the research shows. Additionally, a little under 10,000 steps a day (9,800) can drop risk of dementia by 50%. And "adults who took 8,000 or more steps a day had a reduced risk of death over the following decade than those who only walked 4,000 steps a day," according to the National Institute of Health. At 112 steps per minute, individuals were able to lower their reduction risk of the condition by 38%. The individuals included in the study did not have cardiovascular disease, cancer or dementia when the research first began.
