Running exercises. A man started running a marathon at the age of 40. Why did he have a heart attack?

I think it's mainly because of excessive exercise. Although running is good for health and plays a role in strengthening the body, excessive exercise can also do great harm to the body. Therefore, only when a person starts running a marathon at the age of 40 does he run out of a heart attack.

Mr. Jin (a pseudonym) who lives in Hangzhou is 50 years old this year. He started running marathons at the age of 40 and won many honors. At the age of 40, he decided to run to lose weight because he gained more than ten kilograms in just a few months. With running every day, he lost weight and liked running, so Mr. Jin kept the habit of running 10 km along Qiantang River every other day. Unexpectedly, because of long-term running, it increased the load on the heart and became a heart attack. So, why is this happening?

It is said that a normal person's heart beats about 2.5 billion to 3 billion times in his life, so the slower the heartbeat, the longer his life. But athletes' slow heart rate is not necessarily a good thing. Athletes' continuous high-intensity training will make the ventricular wall thicker and thicker, and make the heart expand continuously. After reaching a certain level, there will be problems such as myocardial cell death and diastolic dysfunction, which is not good for the heart.

Therefore, we should exercise properly and reasonably in real life. Don't be nervous because of this situation, and don't exercise because you think that exercise will also harm people's health. With the development of society, the pace of people's life and work is accelerating. I think it is not enough to keep a healthy body, but also to learn to release stress, eat properly, rest on time and keep a good mood. Only by paying attention to all aspects can we have a healthy body.
