These interesting findings come from the Copenhagen City Heart Study data that began in 1976, by comparing 20.000 non-runners men and women aged 20-93 years with 1.116 men and 762 women who regularly perform jogging. 

The researchers then asked the intensity and how much time they spend on jogging each week. 

The results show that the presence of 10.158 deaths from non-runner group and 122 deaths in the group of runners. This suggests that the risk of death in the runner group was reduced by 44 percent.

Don't Exercise With Empty Stomach!

Exercise is good and healthy thing. Exercise is a natural way to make your skin and your body to be healthy and beautiful. However, one question often arises. Eating or not eating before exercise? This question is often asked by many people. And many people think that exercise on an empty stomach will speed up the fat burning.

According to a recent report published this year in a fitness journal in America, it is known that the body burns fat the same amount regardless of whether you eat before or after exercise. If you don't eat before exercise, the body loses muscle strength because in a state of starvation.

The study also found that without food before exercise, total exercise intensity and calorie burn will be reduced. Reduced muscle strength will also make the body lose energy to burn more fat.

Some studies also found that people who exercise with a hungry stomach, about 10 percent of the calories burned come from protein, including muscle.

Previous research has also shown that eating a snack before the big meal is also advantageous. Those who ate 45 grams of carbohydrates before the exercise, actually eat less for the rest of the day.

Not eating before the exercise makes the body lose a lot of energy that can trigger increased appetite. So, eat about 30 minutes before the exercise. The experts suggest to eating a light meal of wheat or a milkshake before exercise.
