Jogging and walking can reshape your damaged heart tissues




The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients, as well as assists in the removal of metabolic wastes. In humans, the heart is located between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest.

The findings showed that just a single session of endurance exercise activities that increase breathing and heart rate such as walking, jogging, swimming increased the expression of genes that are used to repair damaged DNA and helped remodel heart tissue.

The genes that are important for genome stability are up regulated in the heart tissue after a single bout of endurance exercise. This may contribute to the protective effects of exercise on cardiovascular health. The results are also applicable to humans since these genes are regulated in a similar way to those in humans.

By understanding this process and basic heart biology, future research may lead to increased life expectancy and drug-free cures for chronic heart problems, including high blood pressure. The speed in jogging is much lesser than running. Jogging helps the body to burn calories and therefore is recommended for weight loss. It kind of helps the whole body because it strengthens the leg muscles, abdomen muscles and mainly the cardiac muscles. Jogging is good for the bones as well. People who jog regularly have good lung function and good metabolism. Studies have shown jogging to beneficial for the lowering blood pressure, heart health, reducing depression.
