Changes after running for one year

If you keep running for a year, your body will change dramatically. Especially after running every day, your ability to resist viruses will be enhanced. You will not be prone to illness and maintain a slim figure, and your sleep quality can also be effectively improved. It is of great help in treating sub-health diseases and minor illnesses. At the same time, running for a year can ensure that the skin is firm and elastic and improve the dirty condition of the skin.

What will life be like after running for a year?

1. Improve sleep quality. A study by Tennessee State University in the United States found that 30 minutes of jogging can improve sleep quality. By running, the blood and oxygen supply to the brain can be increased by 25%, and the quality of sleep at night will also be improved.

2. It has a "ventilation" effect. During running, the capacity of the lungs increases from 5.8 liters to 6.2 liters, and the amount of oxygen carried in the blood also increases significantly.

3. The best cardiotonic medicine. When running, the frequency and efficiency of the heart beat are greatly improved, and the elasticity of the blood vessel walls also increases accordingly. Statistics show that jogging for three hours a week can reduce the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases by 35%.

4. Increase resistance. Running can promote the production of white blood cells, which can eliminate many viruses and bacteria in the human body.

5. Be physically strong. Regular running exercises can enhance the damage resistance of tendons, ligaments and joints, reduce the probability of sports injuries, and at the same time make the skin, muscles and connective tissues stronger.

6. Eliminate tension. Running can inhibit the secretion of adrenaline and cortisol, two hormones that cause tension, while releasing "endorphins" that make people feel relaxed, reducing mental stress and helping us maintain a good mental state throughout the day.

7. Delay aging and stay young. Research from the Human Brain Research Center at the University of Florida shows that running for 30 minutes a day can increase the secretion of growth hormone HGH and slow down the degree of brain aging. At the same time, because the human body has to overcome its own weight when jogging, it can effectively inhibit problems such as calcium loss caused by aging.

8. Full of energy. Through running, muscle glycogen stores can increase from 350 grams to 600 grams, and the number of mitochondria will also increase. The manifestation is vigorous energy and not easily fatigued.

9. Body shaping. The Minnesota Sports Rehabilitation Treatment Center in the United States has proven that regular running can help the human body strengthen the core muscle groups, shape the attractive curves of the hips and legs, and achieve a slim and good figure. By running, men can reduce their body fat by 6-13%. A joint study from the University of Birmingham and Boston Women's Hospital found that running can effectively reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol and increase the level of "good" cholesterol, thereby effectively controlling women's weight.

10. Make us smarter. A Japanese study found that after participating in a 12-week running program, the participants' IQs improved compared to before the training. Another experiment from the United States found that the brain cells responsible for learning and memory in mice that often participated in regular running grew faster than those in mice that stayed still. So, running can make us smarter.
