What are the health benefits of running?

Running is a good way of exercise in our lives, and it is not easily restricted by time and space. However, you also need to do some warm-up exercises before running, especially for those who have not exercised for a long time. Running suddenly may cause certain harm to the body and may also make you prone to injury. So there are so many people running in daily life, what benefits does running bring to human health?

1. Eyes: People who insist on long-distance running spend about an hour every day looking straight into the distance, which is a good relaxation for the eyes. If you have school-age children at home, if you can let them insist on running every day, the chance of myopia will definitely be reduced.

2. Neck, shoulders, and spine: People who often sit in front of computers will more or less have some problems with the cervical spine and shoulders. The correct running posture requires the back to be straight and relaxed. Long-term persistence will greatly improve the discomfort of the cervical spine and shoulders.

3. Heart: Persisting in running will give you a strong heart and cardiovascular system. While increasing the maximum oxygen uptake, the amount of oxygen delivered to various organs of the body is greatly increased, and the working quality of various organs is naturally greatly improved. In addition, middle- and long-distance running will accelerate blood circulation, allowing the coronary arteries to have enough blood to supply the myocardium, thereby preventing various heart diseases. Through the exercise of the lower limbs, venous blood is encouraged to flow back to the heart and intravenous thrombosis is prevented.

4. Blood: With a strong cardiovascular system, runners have better blood quality than ordinary people. The adaptive changes in the body to long-term middle and long-distance running can improve metabolism and reduce blood lipid and cholesterol levels.

5. 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.

6. Liver: Running can improve and eliminate fatty liver.

7. Abdomen: Long-term running can effectively remove abdominal fat and give you a toned and flat belly.

8. Waist and hips: The changes in body shape caused by running are first reflected in these two parts. Many people have had this experience. After running for a period of time, the weight has not decreased significantly, but the body shape has improved significantly, especially the waistline has become more beautiful.

9. Knees: Running can improve blood circulation throughout the body, especially the knees. Although some people may feel pain in their knees when they first start running, with gradual accumulation and strength training, the knees will become stronger and stronger.
