10 miles daily, this amount is probably more than enough for anyone to lose weight,
especially if nutritious dietary changes also are made (source: http://www.livestrong.com))


In the context of different foods, by eating a hot fudge sundae, you’ll need to walk 4.5
miles to burn it up. A Big Mac? You’ll need to walk 7 miles to burn it off. Lose 5 pounds?
To lose 1 pound of fat is the equivalent of 40 miles walking, running or crawling, you
pick! So it’s not worth it beloved, you really got to work hard if you want to burn that fat
from your body. Why go to such extremes, watch your diet and if you eat a high carb
diet by limiting your fat and protein intake by 10% each, you will lose the weight!

a bone disease; osteoarthritis is a disease of the joints and surrounding tissue. Fractures
from osteoporosis are more common than heart attack, stroke and breast cancer
