What are the benefits of running?

Running is the best exercise in our daily life, but many people think that running for a long time will be harmful to their health. In fact, this idea is not completely correct. There are still certain benefits to running. It’s just that some people don’t master the real method of running when running, which will cause some harm. In fact, you need to pay attention to many things when running, such as wearing running shoes when running.

Maintain good eyesight

People who ran 35 miles (about 56 kilometers) per week were 54% less likely to experience vision loss as they aged than those who ran 10 miles (about 16 kilometers) per week.

Maintain normal blood pressure

People who ran 10 miles (about 16 kilometers) a week were 39% less likely to have high blood pressure and 34% less likely to have high cholesterol than those who ran less than 3 miles (about 4.8 kilometers) a week.

Enhance physiological functions

Men who burned at least 3,000 calories a week (the equivalent of running for five hours) were 83% less likely to develop severe erectile dysfunction than others.

Exercise bones

Of all aerobic exercises, running is the most effective in strengthening bones. When researchers at the University of Mississippi compared the bone density of runners and cyclists, they found that 63% of cyclists had lower spine and hip bone density, while among runners, this proportion was only 19%.

Quick thinking

The researchers conducted a survey on a group of British people, who exercised one day and did not exercise the other day. Participants reported making fewer mistakes, being more focused, and being more productive on the day they exercised.

If you run regularly, it will be very helpful for your eyesight. After all, as people age, their eyesight will continue to decline. At this time, you can alleviate this condition by running. And if you run regularly, it can also stabilize your blood pressure, so it can play a good auxiliary treatment role for some patients with hypertension.
