Sports takes time, you may think? That's right. It does not take much time of course, but it's always an argument why you should not exercise. Unless you realize how much time you get in return. Not less than six years of life, provided you have an hour a week jogging.
Danish scientist at Bispebjerg University Hospital have calculated that It will cost you 108 days of your life between your twentieth and one seventieth year once a week for an hour jogging. But in return you'll extend your life by up to six years.
The researchers did a comprehensive study of approximately 20,000 men and women between twenty and ninety-three years. All results have been summarized in the Copenhagen City Heart Study.
There is a difference between men and women. In one to two hours jogging per week, the life expectancy of men increases by 6.2 years. For women it is 5.6 years.
The results of this extensive study are contrary to previous studies, in which they turned healthy aspects of jogging into question, stating that jogging is even harmful to health.
This comprehensive study concludes correctly that jogging leads to numerous health benefits, including improved oxygenation, decreased blood pressure, less obesity, healthier heart and blood vessels and better mental health.
It is the researchers who say better to jog at a leisurely pace than you do run your heart out.
