Benefits of running

Proper running exercise has the following benefits:

1. Improve sleep quality. Running can increase the blood and oxygen supply to the brain by 25%, which will improve the quality of sleep at night.

2. Increase lung capacity. Running can increase the average lung capacity from 5.8 liters to 6.2 liters. At the same time, the amount of oxygen carried in the blood will also be greatly increased.

3. During myocardial exercise, the frequency and efficiency of heartbeats are greatly improved, and the elasticity of blood vessel walls also increases.

Benefits of running for the prostate.

For men, running is a very good way to maintain the prostate. Massage explanation: The prostate is located at the bottom of the pelvic cavity, with the bladder above, the urethra below, the pubic bone in front, and the rectum behind. There are many ligaments and fascia on its left and right sides that fix it, which determines its hidden and relatively fixed position. When running, the pelvic floor muscles contract and relax regularly and rhythmically, as if placing the prostate on a "trampoline", activating the blood flow to the prostate and surrounding organs and tissues. At the same time, the abdominal viscera, especially the intestines and greater omentum, will also impact the prostate regularly and forcefully, thus "massaging" the prostate.

Walking is the most popular exercise among middle-aged and elderly men. As the body's vertical movement range is reduced, the "bouncing" and "massage" effects are significantly weakened. Swimming is a horizontal movement of a person. Without internal movement, it is difficult to achieve a "massage" effect. The action of squeezing water with the legs can exercise the pelvic floor muscles, but the "bouncing" effect on the prostate is minimal. When riding a bicycle, the pelvic floor muscles and prostate are squeezed at the same time. Not only are the "bounce" and "massage" gone, but even the pelvic floor muscles become tense, making it incomparable to running. It should be noted that strenuous exercise can cause congestion and edema of the prostate, which is not conducive to its maintenance. Therefore, when running, you should not overemphasize speed, but instead control the speed, time and distance according to your own physical strength.

The reason why it can play such a role is closely related to the location of the prostate. The prostate is located at the bottom of the pelvic cavity, with the bladder above, the urethra below, the pubic bone in front, and the rectum behind. The left and right sides of the prostate are fixed by many ligaments and fascia, which determines its hidden position and relatively fixed characteristics. Based on this anatomical feature, we can understand the role of running in maintaining the prostate.

From the above, we can see that running is very helpful for the prostate and has a good protective effect. Judging from the effect alone, running has the best protective effect on the prostate. Therefore, if men have time, they might as well go for a run, which can exercise the body while also maintaining the prostate. You can also insist on running every day to exercise your body. Having a healthy body is the most valuable wealth.
