Is Running Good and Bad for Your Heart?

We’ve all heard stories about runners who’ve collapsed during a
race from a heart issue. The question is, are these instances a
statistically anomaly or does training hard actually increase our
risk of heart issues?


Dr. Erin Michos, Associate Professor of Medicine within the
Division of Cardiology at Johns Hopkins, is on our show today to
answer…


Who is at risk for a cardiac event while running?  

How much running is good for your heart? Is there such a
thing as too much? Are marathoners and ultra runners at a higher
risk for cardiac events?

Are women’s hearts different than men’s?

Why some runners seem to have higher heart rates when running
than others. What are the signs and symptoms of a problem with
our hearts?

What other nutritional guidelines should athletes follow for
heart health?

This week’s show brought to you by Magnesium
Breakthrough from Bioptimizers. 

Supplementing with magnesium before you go to bed has been shown
in scientific studies to…


Increase in muscle oxygenation during high intensity exercise

Reduce inflammation 

Significantly improve sleep quality

Improve aerobic exercise capacity when training.



When you’re looking for a magnesium supplement, make sure you
take one that is organic and has all 7 unique forms of
magnesium. 


My recommendation is Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers
because it’s made with the highest quality, organic magnesium and
contains all 7 critical forms. Most other magnesium supplements
are synthetic and only contain one or two forms of magnesium,
which is simply not enough.
