Is it good to run regularly?

Running is a very fashionable sport. Do you often see many people running on the playground or on the road in the morning? So is it good to run regularly? In fact, there are many benefits of running. Running can exercise our physical abilities, but if you run on the road, it will still have a certain impact. Next, let me introduce to you whether it is good to run regularly.

Even if you don't grow muscles, the human body needs constant exercise, just like rowing against the current, if you don't move forward, you will move backward. All you do is to keep the human body at its current level. There is no need to run too fast in the morning, it is just to adjust the human body's functions to the best state. After a whole night's rest, the human body's functions have not yet fully adjusted, so everyone has to go slowly at the beginning. Some middle-aged and elderly people fall to the ground due to sudden illness because they don't understand this. Just jog for 15 minutes, then walk quietly for 5 minutes. If you live in the city, the best time is around 9 am, when the air quality is the best. In the suburbs or rural areas, 7 am is enough. Remember to get up in the morning and drink a glass of warm water before jogging, then have breakfast and go to work.

For many years, people have traditionally believed that the best time to exercise is in the morning, followed by evening, because the air is freshest at that time. But due to urban air pollution, the best time to exercise has also changed. Studies have shown that, under normal circumstances, air pollution has two peak periods every day, one before sunrise and the other in the evening. Especially in winter, there is often a temperature inversion phenomenon in the morning and evening under the influence of cold high pressure, that is, the upper temperature is high, while the surface temperature is low, and the atmospheric convection almost stops. Therefore, harmful pollutants on the ground cannot diffuse into the upper atmosphere and remain in the lower breathing zone. This phenomenon is particularly typical in industrially concentrated residential areas with tall buildings and on roads where cars are speeding by.

At this time, the harmful gases are 2-3 times higher than normal. A healthy adult breathes 16 to 20 times per minute and inhales about 10 cubic meters of air a day. When exercising, due to metabolic needs, the amount of air inhaled is often 2-3 times that of normal conditions. Therefore, the choice of environment and time when exercising is particularly important. When is the air cleanest? Experimental studies have shown that 10 a.m. and around 3 p.m. every day are the two relatively optimal periods. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone to cherish this great time. Because exercising at this time will not only relax your tension, but you can also breathe high-quality fresh air. Since the air quality in the environment where each person lives and works is different, you should also pay attention to changes in the air pollution index when exercising outdoors. If the air pollution index is too high for a period of time or in a certain area, the exercise location should be adjusted.

Running is actually very effective for people's physical health. It can exercise our leg strength and so on. However, we should pay attention to the running time when running. With the development of our society, pollution is becoming more and more serious. We will still inhale a lot of pollution when running, so we must take good care of our body when running.
