Is running in the morning good for your health?

Nowadays, many people like running, because everyone knows that long-term running is very good for the body. Especially running at a certain time can not only exercise your health well. At the same time, it is also beneficial for preventing diseases in your body. Many of my friends like to run in the morning and at night. So, is running in the morning good for your health?

Morning jogging refers to a form of exercise that involves running in the morning. The benefits of running every morning include strengthening your physical fitness, improving your immunity, and improving your mental state. When running in the morning, you should focus on jogging, and you should drink enough water and a small amount of food before running. It is not advisable to run in the morning on foggy days, or in places with poor air quality.

According to the American College of Sports Medicine, it is best to run every morning for fitness, preferably more than 3 times a week, each time for 30-60 minutes. The intensity of exercise should be controlled within the range of "pulse rate not exceeding 120 beats/minute after 5 minutes of running, and not exceeding 100 beats/minute after 10 minutes". If your heart rate is too fast, you must reduce the amount of exercise; if you can talk to others while exercising, it means that the exercise intensity is acceptable.

People who have no exercise habit can start with a 20-minute walk every day, 25 minutes in the second week, increase to 30 minutes in the third week, add some jogging in the fourth week, and combine walking and jogging in the fifth week; finally, start to run slowly. All sports require warm-up exercises, and running every morning is no exception. Jiao Wei introduced that lightly stretching the legs and doing squats before running can help the heart and muscles enter the exercise state faster. If you start by walking a few steps, then brisk walking, jogging, and finally running, you can also warm up effectively.

In the cold winter, many people choose to run every morning to enhance their immunity. However, is it better to run as early as possible every morning? Health experts suggest that morning running in winter should be done after sunrise. It is understood that the ground temperature before sunrise in winter is lower, and the content of pollutants such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide released in the air in the early morning is higher.

In addition, harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, lead, etc. in automobile exhaust also gather on the ground. If people get up early in the morning to run, they will inhale a lot of smoke and toxic gases. If you run in this environment in the morning for a long time, you may experience fatigue, dizziness, pharyngitis and other diseases, which will harm your health. Stick to running every morning, preferably around 10 o'clock. At this time, the sun comes out and shines on the ground, causing the atmosphere to begin to convect upward and downward, and the polluted air spreads to high altitudes, reducing the harm to the human body. In addition, the temperature is relatively low in the mornings during winter and it will not ease until half an hour after the sun comes out.

As we all know from the above article, running in the morning has certain benefits, but running in the morning also has disadvantages in some aspects. This means that getting up in the morning to run is not the earlier the better, but it is better to run at a certain time. At the same time, as long as you insist on running at the right time for a long time, your body will gain many benefits. So there is no harm in running regularly for the sake of health.
