What are the good things out of Jogging


Here are some extracts from internet::


1. Healthy Heart (from familydoctor.org)

a. What's the best type of exercise for my heart?

Aerobic exercise causes you to breathe more deeply and makes your heart work harder to pump blood. Aerobic exercise also raises your heart rate (which also burns calories). Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, jogging, running, swimming and bicycling

b. How much exercise do I need?

In general, if you haven't been exercising, try to work up to 30 minutes, 4 to 6 times a week. Your doctor may make a different recommendation based on your health. If you can't carry on a conversation while you exercise, you may be overdoing it. It is best to alternate exercise days with rest days to prevent injuries


2. Jogging 'prolongs life'


Jogging is good for you
By BBC Health Correspondent Richard Hannaford

Scientists have come up with conclusive proof that jogging is good for you.
This research suggests that a regular moderate or even strenuous activity, such as jogging, is good for us.
Lead researcher Dr Peter Schnohr, of the Copenhagen City Heart Study, told BBC News Online: "Jogging has a positive effect on blood pressure, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, weight, diabetes, smoking, and other confounders, but we adjusted for these in the analysis.
"So there is further a residual effect of jogging."
