Can running help you grow taller?

Running has many benefits to human health. Running for a long time can effectively lower a person's heart rate, which has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. When people run, their bones will also get a certain exercise, which will help them grow taller. The following editor will introduce some of the main benefits of running for a long time to the human body.

Studies have shown that brisk jogging can enhance respiratory function, increase lung capacity, and improve the body's ventilation and gas exchange capabilities. The oxygen supplied during jogging can be 8 to 12 times more than when sitting still. Oxygen is essential for maintaining human life activities, and the ability to absorb oxygen directly affects cardiopulmonary function.

Generally speaking, the oxygen absorption capacity of the elderly is lower, and exercise can improve their oxygen absorption capacity. The maximum oxygen uptake of elderly people who jog is not only significantly higher than that of their peers who do not exercise, but also higher than that of elderly people who participate in general exercise. Jogging can strengthen and thicken the myocardium, and has the effect of exercising and protecting the heart. The heart size and function of an elderly person who has been jogging for many years is no different from that of a 20-year-old young person who does not exercise. This is because long-term exercise improves myocardial nutrition, makes the myocardium developed, and improves its function.

Jogging can increase blood flow, enhance blood vessel elasticity, and has the effect of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and improving blood circulation. When jogging, the coronary blood flow can increase 10 times compared to when you are at rest, that is, the blood flow can reach 1200-1400 ml per minute. For people who jog regularly, their heart rate can drop to about 50 to 60 beats per minute, which allows the myocardium to rest for a longer period of time.

Jogging can promote whole body metabolism, improve lipid metabolism, and prevent excessive lipids in the blood. Coronary heart disease, hypertension, arteriosclerosis and other senile diseases are mostly related to lipid metabolism in the body. Jogging can improve the normal metabolism of lipids in the body, reduce the content of cholesterol and triglycerides, prevent and reduce the deposition of lipids such as cholesterol on the blood vessel walls, thereby playing a role in preventing and treating coronary heart disease, hypertension and other senile diseases.

When running, the muscles can be well exercised, so the muscles in many parts of the body will become tighter, thus having a better bodybuilding effect. At the same time, it can also consume excess fat in the body, and has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and various obesity, thus making the human body healthier.
