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.
