AVOID RUNNING UPSTAIRS.
The human heart is the most marvellous pump in the world. It exerts 200 foot tons of energy in a single day. It beats 4320 times an hour, night and day, as long as you live. If you are sitting it pumps 5 pints of blood a minute; if you are walking it pumps 20 pints; and if you are running upstairs it pumps pints a minute. That is one good reason why you should never run upstairs.
