In a stunning affirmation of the profound health-boosting effects of regular physical activity, European Cardiovascular researchers concluded that regular jogging can dramatically increase life expectancy. As part of the Copenhagen City Heart Study, investigators followed 19,329 adult study subjects over a period of up to 35 years. Study subjects who reported regular jogging at a “slow or average” pace were 40% less likely to die over the study period than non-joggers and increased their life expectancy by an average of 6 years. What’s more, regular joggers also reported an enhanced sense of overall well-being.
