Benefits of running

Running is good for our neck, shoulders, spine, blood, liver, stomach and bones. Here are thirteen benefits of running, you may want to take a look.

1. Lungs and respiratory system

Long-term middle- and long-distance running exercises can strengthen lung function and increase vital capacity - regular long-distance running can develop the lung respiratory muscles, increase the amount of ventilation each time, and enhance lung function. I personally have a very torturous attack of seasonal rhinitis every autumn, but it has not recurred since I started running this year. Is there any connection?

Running can increase the average lung capacity from 5.8 liters to 6.2 liters. At the same time, the amount of oxygen carried in the blood will also be greatly increased.

2. Liver

For people with fatty liver, the best medicine is "running". Aerobic exercise, such as running, can slow the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in obese people with prediabetes, a new study shows.

The researchers investigated 15 obese patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and asked them to run on a treadmill for one hour every day, with their heart rate reaching 85% of their maximum heart rate during exercise. After 7 consecutive days, the patients' insulin sensitivity increased and their liver polyunsaturated fat index (PUI) increased by 84%. The researchers say the improvements were linked to increases in the hormone adiponectin, which enhances a person's response to insulin and helps fight inflammation, reducing the risk of heart disease. In addition, aerobic exercises such as running can effectively burn fat and reduce the harm of fatty liver.

The above article is a compilation of some benefits of regular running for male friends by the editor. In fact, male friends only need to take out 3 days a week to run as long as it can stimulate your cartilage and make it stronger. It will also at least promote the synthesis of vitamin D in the body, thereby increasing bone density. If you persist in doing this for 3 months, your risk of fracture will be much lower than that of your peers.
