Hi doctor, I am a 40 year old female. I am an avid runner. I run 5 to 7 miles daily. Is this bad for my heart? I keep reading that I could be damaging my heart instead of hurting it. I have tried only running 3 to 4 miles instead of the longer mileage, and it makes me crabby. I have no heart disease in my family.
Hi. Jogging is a good exercise, and it benefits the whole body including the cardiovascular system. So, you need not worry about this. For further doubts consult a cardiologist online -->
