Prevention is certainly better than cure. Indeed, safeguarding our health is a very important priority.
Especially in a delicate historical moment like the one we are experiencing, in which the spread of the pandemic has drastically reduced the number of people who turn to health facilities to carry out checks. A trend that has spread a lot in the last year and a half and that is slowly returning to normal.
We are all aware of the importance of taking care of yourself and your health. However, only after the “door” do we begin to concretely implement what is a prevention and personal care plan. You become more attentive to nutrition. The focus is more on physical movement. In addition, the onset of some very common diseases, including diabetes and high bad cholesterol, is more fearful.

Relying on medical specialists is essential to clarify any doubts or perplexities. Keeping yourself informed about any studies and advances in science in the health sector, on the other hand, is useful for acquiring adequate knowledge and improving our quality of life.
For example, here it is the incredible news for those suffering from high bad cholesterol because you no longer need to give up these beloved foods, science says.
Furthermore, few people know this but we should be careful why in addition to cholesterol and diabetes, here are some beloved foods that protect against colorectal cancer.
Therefore, as underlined by these last two news items, nutrition plays a very important role in the well-being of our health.
Obviously, nutrition alone is not enough. There are many experts, doctors and scientists who insist on another very common aspect.
Few people know that this very common action increases the immune system, lowers triglycerides and keeps the brain young.
According to one Danish study, also reported by the Umberto Veronesi Foundation, carrying out physical activity at a maximum speed of eight kilometers per hour is ideal for being good for the body.
We were already aware of the benefits that physical activity brings to the body and mind.
However, researchers have quantified its duration and above all the most appropriate intensity to achieve truly incredible results. In fact, few people know that this very common action increases the immune defenses, lowers triglycerides and keeps the brain young.
The study saw the participation of over 5,000 people, including 1,098 regular joggers and 3,950 “non-joggers” in good health.
All participants were observed for 12 years starting in 2001.
Scientists by monitoring the physical activity, heart rate and individual perception of the step of each runner have understood that 1 hour or at most 2 and a half hours of jogging with a moderate pace, or with a distance of about 8 km / hour, is enough. , to reduce the risk of mortality by thirty percent.
Basically, according to the researchers, running at a moderate pace would improve oxygen uptake and therefore heart function. But also blood fluidity and insulin sensitivity. This would lower triglycerides and blood pressure. Furthermore, this type of running would enhance bone density, immune defenses and keep the brain young.
