Not convinced about this one... I used to walk a lot and it still claimed me...

Participants who took at least 3500 steps (approximately 1.75 miles) a day were 29% less likely to develop diabetes compared with more sedentary participants, report Amanda Fretts (University of Washington, Seattle) and team.

The team says the findings suggests a need for physical activity education and outreach programs that target inactive individuals, particularly American Indians, who have epidemic rates of obesity, physical activity, and Type 2 diabetes.

Oh my my.... I wonder why? 8)
