US scientists have found that jogging for 60 minutes can increase lifespan by 7 hours. However, to achieve this effect, you need to run regularly. Occasional jogging will be ineffective.
According to the study's organizers, running should be done at least once a week. Experts also noted that regular jogging reduces the risk of premature death due to heart and vascular disease by approximately 40%. This type of exercise helps maintain healthy weight and blood pressure. As a result, health is maintained, well-being is enhanced, and life expectancy increases.
It is noteworthy that even those who have bad habits and chronic diseases will receive positive results from regular jogging.
If such physical activity is not contraindicated for health reasons, light jogging over short distances will be enough to achieve results.
However, it's best to avoid participating in marathons, as the long distance running will not provide any benefits. Even 82% of athletes who participate in marathons experience deterioration in kidney function, dehydration, and increased heat production.
