Jogging effective to prevent the risk of death
Jogging already long known to have various health benefits, such as avoiding from the risk of cardiovascular disease. But, did you know that jogging can also help reduce the risk of death from respiratory disease?

Yes, it is based on the results of the research of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. Explained that go running several times in a week can lower the risk of dying from pneumonia and other respiratory diseases.

In the results of research, researchers observed the 150,000 runners and walkers for more than 11 years and compare them for the amount of mileage per week to get the physical activity recommendations. Then it was found that the risk of death from the community due to respiratory disorders decreased by 34 percent when they exceed the recommendations of physical activity, ie moderate exercise for 150 minutes per week and weight training for 75 minutes per week.

To get the benefits of this research, the researchers conclude that you need to walk approximately 15 miles a week with speed 10 minutes per mile to reduce the risk by 45 percent.

"If you do not like sports run, but still want to get the health benefits. Not to worry, because exercise such as walking also show the same benefits. However, you must walk approximately 50 percent farther or run for two times longer to expend energy the same as a runner, "said Paul Williams, Ph.D., chairman of the research.
