Why is a rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure from exercise healthy for your cardio system, but the same effects from drugs like alcohol and nicotine cause damage?
In: Biology
These are side effects that can point to different diseases.
If you’re out of breathe because you just ran really fast, you know that it’s because you ran fast.
If you’re sitting around doing nothing at all and the same thing happens, you can’t be sure why, but it could mean that doing regular things like sitting down or walking to another room are now taking just as much effort as it would take to run down the block really fast.
And you don’t run really fast all day, so your body has time to recover. If it always takes that much effort to do anything, your body never has time to recover and starts to wear down much faster than it would otherwise.
