Running is a universal sporting activity that lots of people all over the world do on a regular basis. Why run? Running offers many physical and mental health benefits and undoubtedly, financial as well (it’s free).
If you already run, you would admit that running has benefited you a lot. This article reveals 7 amazing benefits of running.
#1. Holistic health
Running is not just good for your physical health, but it is also good for mental health.
Research has shown that 8 out of 10 people who run on a regular basis are happier than the average individual who doesn’t run at all.
#2. Stronger immune system
Running helps build resistance to germs. Research carried out by L. Spence, showed that athletes who developed illnesses such as colds and ran through the illness recovered faster than individuals that didn’t.
However, running over very long distances can have the opposite effect and cause you even more sickness.
#3. Strong legs
A strong lower body gives you more balance and strength, and running contracts and expands your leg muscles causing them to get stronger. Take a look at the body of any regular runner you know and you are sure to observe this.
#4. Increased bone density
Running creates a strain on your bones. When this happens, essential minerals are sent to them, which makes them stronger. It is noteworthy that increased bone density means less fat on the body.
#5. Relieves stress
How? When you run, the body secretes higher levels of serotonin, a substance that helps you relax. So literally, you can run away from stress.
#6. Confidence booster
Anyone can get insecure about the shape of their body but you can take charge of what you look like by going running and this will help improve your confidence levels.
Research has shown that this confidence has an effect on more than just physical ability, extending even to mental, and emotional stability.
