Three Myths About Running and Your Health

1. Running will give you a heart attack or other heart problems. It is true that exercise temporarily raises the odds of a heart attack while you're mid-workout, but doing it consistently reduces that risk over the long haul, leading to a net benefit. Going for a run most days of the week is doing far more good than bad for your heart.

2. Running will ruin your bones and joints. A study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found no evidence of accelerated rates of osteoarthritis among long-distance runners. Weight-bearing exercise like running helps stave off osteoporosis by maintaining bone mineral density.

3. Running will kill you before your time. According to a study in the Archives of Internal Medicine, running and other vigorous exercise in middle age is associated with a longer life. Not only that, it will make your later years more pleasant by reducing disability.

So, there you go. Just make sure run in moderation and condition yourself every time you want to do some kind of exercises. I also read that people with my blood type are not very athletic and only needed minimal exercise. And live a healthy life when we eat mostly vegetables. No wonder that I love vegetables. Even my DH is not very fond of meat either. We have the same blood type.

Search your blood type read what type of food are good for you. I will post the blood types and food that are best for these blood types later on.
