It’s in the news

Texting while walking is

dangerous

Writing

text messages and walking is dangerous. It is more dangerous than driving and

texting. More people get injured while walking than driving. Walking in a

straight line is not easy. We can forget how to walk properly. Dangerous things

can happen. We run into people or cars. We fall over things in the street.

There

are a few reasons why texting and walking is dangerous. People cannot see when

they look at their keyboard. Their minds are somewhere else – they are not

thinking about walking safely. Thousands of people have accidents. Some have

serious head injuries

Too much jogging could

be a problem!

Running is good for our health. A recent

study says that running too much is bad for us and it doesn’t always make our

lives longer. A specialist said too much running can damage your heart.

Long-distance runners and people who never exercise can have the same risk of

having a heart

Experts

looked at the health of 3,300 runners. Most of them ran over 30 kilometres a

week. Marathon runners had hard parts in their heart. A doctor who started

running in 1967 is sad. He ran 60 kilometres every week. He thought his heart

was strong. Now he has heart problems. He said we should exercise, but not too

much.
