Moovit unveils new function to maximize walking, 'biohacks' based on Bar-Ilan University research

Moovit has launched a new "Steps" feature allowing users to incorporate more walking into their public transportation routes without extending travel time. This innovation is based on research by Professor Jonathan Rabinowitz of Bar-Ilan University, which found that simple adjustments, like getting off one stop earlier, can significantly increase physical activity. Dr. Eyal Ginesin, an orthopedic surgeon, highlights the health benefits, noting that "Almost all of the complaints due to sedentary lifestyle are reversible." The feature aims to combat increasingly sedentary lifestyles by offering accessible "biohacks" that promote walking, a simple exercise that improves cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and reduces stress, ultimately reducing the chances of dying young.
