Lightbulb Marathoners showing more heart disease:

This is a sobering article:

http://americannutritionassociation....ers-heart-risk

Moderate exercise is suggested. Extreme running is showing cardiac damage in some.

My uncle is 85 and lives in new York city. walks about 100 blocks a day. you should hear him rant about marathons. says they should be outlawed. he's a little extreme.
when we used to go to atlantic city, I couldn't keep up with him

I guess not. I have to be careful. I lost 60 pounds so far but by eating less, not eating well.
Bizi, you eat great. I read what you eat. it's very healthy..

As I see it, it's another form of addiction. The LA Marathon goes down my street to the end location, and omg, I cannot watch them. The PAIN. And then there is the increasing joint damage and surgeries and replacements, it's worse and worse than ever.

It's bad enough I elected a hip replacement at 72 (old age reason) and thinking had I been a more aggressive exerciser and or runner, I could have been like the ones today doing these 30 yrs and on.

These early age replacements put the person in a position for revisions down the road as these replacements do wear out. Moderation in all forms of life is key as I see it .. I've done my share of fanatic dancing and exercising, but never the running thing.

Default Extreme Athleticism and Immune System Dysfunction?

A warm hello to all -

interesting article. Thanks for sharing.

Many of the extreme athletes I have known have passed on at early ages with various types of cancers. I have read much about too much exercise causing too many free radicals... and I wonder if there is a connection.

I will add: I was an extreme athlete when young. I had started sudden severe chronic illness over 30 years ago. I was in a research study group with researchers at Harvard. There were 5 subgroups of study participants. The group I was in was considered the most severely affected group. In this group, we were all extreme athletes and/or triathletes, marathoners.

I think it's possible the extreme athleticism had affected our immune systems and had left us more vulnerable to immune dysregulation/dysfunction.

To Our Healing,
DejaVu

Lightbulb Moderation and Awareness are Helpful

I believe the key to exercise is exercising reasonably, in moderation.
Antioxidants may be helpful for free radicals caused by exercise.

I cringe when I hear of exercise instructors (aerobics, jazzercise, others) teaching 15- 20 intensive classes per week without an awareness of the potential negative impacts upon their health. OA, free radicals, etc.

I was brought up and trained in an athletic climate where extreme, hard-core athleticism was considered the key to good health. It's often abusive to the body.

I am thankful there is more awareness now.

To Our Health,
DejaVu
