What are the benefits of participating in sports?

The pressure of life is getting greater and greater, and people are less and less willing to do sports when they are busy with work. However, they do not know that there are many benefits to participating in sports. When some of our own diseases cannot be eradicated, we may recover after doing sports. This is not impossible, and there are such examples in our lives. Let us take a look at the benefits of participating in sports.

13 benefits of long-term running

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, 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

Keep running so that you have 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' blood quality is also better than that of ordinary people. The body's adaptive changes 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. I personally have a very torturous seasonal rhinitis attack every autumn, but this year I started running and it didn't recur. Is there any connection?

6. Liver

During a physical examination, the doctor called an intern over and said: Look, this is a healthy liver. The blood vessels and veins on the surface have clear textures. This is rare nowadays. Running can eliminate fatty liver, which has been proven to be very effective in many runners.

Every year, the country holds some sports events, and various sports demonstrate the spirit of sports. From this we can also see the benefits of participating in sports. People with weaker bodies should do some sports, and people with stronger bodies should continue to maintain it. In short, exercise is an indispensable thing in our lives, and we should always stick to it.
