African savanna animals like zebras live in herds and are protected from natural predators like lions because their striped pattern makes it difficult to pick out a single zebra from the group (which confuses the lion because it cannot focus on a single target to attack).
In Africa, it is said, âWater Is Life,â and we at Healing Hands International believe that everything starts with water. How far do you walk to get water? Four miles? One mile? Or is it just a few steps to the faucet? Every day in developing countries, women and children walk an average of 4 miles to collect water for their family. Not only is this chore keeping the children from attending school, but the dirty water they are bringing home is also killing them at an alarming rate!
For example: 30 minutes gardening x 131 steps/minute = 3,930 steps. The general recommendation is to walk 10,000 steps per day. An average person has a stride length of approximately 2.1 to 2.5 feet. That means that it takes over 2,000 steps to walk one mile; and 10,000 steps would be almost 5 miles. A sedentary person may only. average 1,000 to 3,000 steps a day and would benefit by slowly adding more steps each day until they reach 10,000.
