is joging good for health or not?

Answer 1

isn't it obvious??? exercise is very good for your health, even the slightest movement is better for health rather than doing nothing... so keep on jogging...;)

Answer 2

Jogging is an excellent form of exercise. The only thing you need to consider when jogging is having appropriate running shoes, there are specialty stores that check via the computer how your feet touch the ground when you walk and therefore give you accordingly appropriate running shoes. Jogging also increases your lung capacity. When you first start, you will be quite short of breath in a short period of time, but you will build on it and find that this affects the rest of your overall health as well. Go for it!

These are just a few of the health benefits one earns from running.
Mental Benefits of Running

There are large (and proven) psychological benefits to running as well. Running builds confidence in all ages of people. Going for a jog during your day can reduce your stress level drastically. And, of course, endorphins are the body's natural antidepressant.
Community Benefits of Running

Don't overlook the benefits of a community to turn to; the running community is very much a culture all its own. It is an important support system for many runners, providing support in their running and life. Of course, there are health and mental benefits to making friends as well.
