As scientists from the University of Copenhagen learned, regular jogs can prolong a person's life. To their conclusion, specialists have also presented convincing evidence.

For 35 years, a group of cardiologists, led by Peter Shnor, monitored more than 20 thousand men and women in the age group from 20 to 93 years. Scientists conducted a comparative analysis of the data between the participants of the research with the data of 2 thousand people who made regular jogging. The result was as follows: jogging gives a person 5-6 additional years of life. At the same time, the most effective is slow or medium speed running.

The most optimal health effect is achieved when running 2-3 times a week, lasting from 1 to 2.5 hours.

This physical stress reduces the risk of premature death by 44%. This is due to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Women - runners with their hobbies increase life expectancy by 5.6 years, and men more than 6.

The beauty is that regular running, increasing the person's lifespan, does not require that a lot of time is spent on training.
