Many people seem to think that heart attacks are more of a problem for men. However, this is far from the truth.

It is a fact that women have built in protection when they are younger, but as we age we start to lose it. What is worse, when a woman does have a heart attack it generally a more serious issue than it is for men.

For this reason we need to keep our hearts in good condition. Don't get too overweight and find a good exercise program and stick with it. Jogging is known for its heart benefits and that is what I have done for years.

I am now in my 60s and still jog almost daily. You do need to start off slow if you are out of condition or have never done it before.
