Walking Could Be Key Step Against Kidney Disease – WebMD

Walking Could Be Key Step Against Kidney Disease – WebMD: "A minimal amount of walking -- just once a week for less than 30 minutes -- appears to be beneficial, but more frequent and longer walking may provide a more beneficial effect," study co-author Dr. Che-Yi Chou, of China Medical University Hospital in Taichung, said in a journal news release.
