Women's Running Shoes
Several reports indicate that knee injuries in particular are more common among women than among men. The reasons given have to do with leg alignment, muscle strength, and joint laxity or looseness. In general, women have wider pelvises than men do, which makes for a corresponding larger quadriceps angle, meaning the hips come down to the knees at a sharper angle. This puts more stress on the kness, making them more vulnerable to injury. Sports physicians often refer to a condition common in women called "the terrible triad", in which a wider pelvis causes legs to be more knock-kneed.

Hypertension and heart disease are also believed to be trigg by stress. Before you can look at what you can do to manage your stress, the first order of business is understanding what, exactly, stress is. Generally, stress is defined as a negative emotional experience associated with biological changes that allow you to adapt to it. In response to stress, your adrenal glands pump out stress hormones that speed up your body - your heart rate increases and you blood sugar levels increase so that glucose can be diverted to your muscles in case you have to run. This is knoen as the fight-or-flight response.

Coronary Heart Disese
Even though it is important for all of us to do all we can to lower the major risk factors for heart disease, once you have done so try to keep a sense of proportion. Remember that heart disease is a disease not a punishment. Blaming yourself or feeling guilty or inadequate for developing it is not useful and may increase feelings of helplessness which can be damaging to self-esteem and confidence and may even impede recovery.
