Jogging regularly could add about six years to your life, a new Danish study suggests.
"We can say with certainty that regular jogging increases longevity," Peter Schnohr, chief cardiologist of the long-term Copenhagen City Heart Study, said. "The good news is that you don't actually need to do that much to reap the benefits."
The researchers found that male joggers can extend their life by 6.2 years, and women by 5.6 years.
Jogging at a slow pace for one to two and a half hours weekly provided the most significant benefits. "You should aim to feel a little breathless, but not very breathless," said Schnohr. "The relationship appears much like alcohol intakes. Mortality is lower in people reporting moderate jogging, than in non-joggers or those undertaking extreme levels of exercise."
I'm gonna get started tomorrow.
