First of
all, my favorite hobby is jogging. When I am free, I will go jogging with my friend
who same college with me. Jogging
or running is a popular form of physical activity. Regular running builds
strong bones, improves cardiovascular fitness and helps to maintain a healthy
weight. The difference between running and jogging is intensity, but both are
forms of aerobic exercise.
Regular running or jogging offers
many health benefits. Running can:
- Help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise
- Strengthen muscles
- Improve cardiovascular fitness
- Burn plenty of kilojoules
- Help maintain a healthy weight.
- It is a well-known fact that indulging in aerobic sports activity like badminton gives multiple health benefits and promotes longevity.
-
In fact it has been found that playing badminton till you get an increase in heart rate or mild breathlessness regularly in middle age lowers the risk of death by about 23% in the subsequent 20 years and improves longevity by at least 2 years. The optimal health benefits are achieved by playing badminton for at least 30 minutes a day after adequate warm up.
-
The main health benefit is reduction of bad cholesterol and increase in good cholesterol with regular badminton play. In our body, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) are bad cholesterols and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is the only good cholesterol.
