Benefits of jogging
For jogging, many friends only think it can help lose weight. In fact, the benefits of jogging are many, let's take a look.
1Eyes
Persistence of long-distance runners spends about 1 hour of time staring at the distance with their eyes, which is very good for their eyes. If you have children who are studying at home, let them insist on running every day, the probability of their nearsightedness will certainly be reduced.
American neurobiologists from the University of California in California have verified that running may be an effective method for treating certain eye diseases. In the experiment, one eye of the mouse was covered. Subsequently, the mouse test was divided into two groups. One group of mice was forced to run in a running wheel for several hours and fully stimulated its visual cortex neurons. The other group of mice remained motionless. After a period of time, the vision of the first group of mice returned to the extent of the eye covered before. The vision of the second group of mice recovered slowly and was not thorough.
2Neck, Shoulder, Spine
Jogging can also have many benefits for our neck, shoulder, and spine, let's take a look.
People who often sit in front of computers or have neck and shoulder problems will have neck and shoulder discomfort. Correct running posture requires the back to be upright and relaxed. Long-term persistence can greatly improve neck and shoulder discomfort.
3Heart
Persistence of jogging will make you have a strong heart and cardiovascular function. At the same time, it increases the oxygen supply to various organs in the body, the working quality of each organ is naturally greatly improved. In addition, long-distance jogging can accelerate blood circulation, supply coronary artery with enough blood, prevent various heart diseases. Through lower limb movement, it promotes venous blood return to the heart, and prevents blood clots from forming in the veins.
4Blood
With a strong cardiovascular and respiratory system, the blood of runners is better than ordinary people, the long-term long-distance jogging changes the body's metabolism, reduces blood lipid and cholesterol levels.
5Lungs and Respiratory System
The respiratory system is one of the most important systems in the human body, and jogging has a good maintenance effect on the respiratory system.
Long-term long-distance jogging strengthens the respiratory muscles of the lungs, increases the lung capacity—regular long-distance jogging can develop the lungs, the lung breathing muscle becomes larger, the exchange volume becomes larger, the lung function is enhanced. Personally, I often have seasonal allergic rhinitis in autumn, which is very torturous. But this year after starting to run, it didn't relapse, I don't know if it has something to do with it?
Running can increase the lung capacity from 5.8 liters on average to 6.2 liters, and the amount of oxygen carried in the blood is also greatly increased.
6Liver
For people with fatty liver, 'running' is the best medicine. The fourth day of the New York Times on May 4 reported that a new study shows that aerobic exercise such as running can slow down the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in overweight and diabetic patients.
Researchers surveyed 15 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and obesity, let them run on a treadmill for 1 hour, the heart rate reached 85% of their maximum heart rate.
After 7 days, the insulin sensitivity of the patients increased, and the non-saturated fatty index (PUI) of the liver increased by 84%.
Researchers said that these improvements are related to the increase in hormone lipolexin, lipolexin can enhance the response of people to insulin, and also help reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of heart disease. In addition, running and aerobic exercise can effectively burn fat, and can also reduce the harm of fatty liver.
7Abdomen
Flat or abdominal muscle is the dream of many people. Many fitness coaches and popular running enthusiasts can help you make your abdominal muscles stronger. But you still need to run such aerobic exercise to remove the thick outer fat packaging of the abdominal muscles.
Of course, you need to persist, because the fat in the abdomen is the most cunning, when you slacken, it will counterattack.
Studies show that 30 minutes of jogging can burn more than 390 calories, compared with the same time, cycling and tennis can only burn 277 calories and 272 calories respectively. So, if you love the right sport, you can get a satisfying figure faster.
8Waist, Hip
Running's transformation of the body is most evident in this position. Many runners have had this experience: after a while of running, there is no obvious weight loss, but the figure has improved, especially the waistline has become more beautiful.
Running compared to other sports, it can achieve the general exercise effect on muscle and joints, and in your exercise four hours within, the body can remain in a high metabolic state, so it can burn more calories.
9Knee
Some say that running is beneficial for injury, but it can also cause injury. Most persistent runners will or may have knee injury. But after chatting with many runners who have run for more than 10 years, they also encountered the same problem when they first started running. Some people will feel pain when walking; but after gradually increasing the running volume and strength training, the knee became stronger.
In the ignoring age influence, many long-term experiments show that runners' knees are less likely to suffer from arthritis. Recently, a research institution in the United States found that after 18 years of tracking, runners with arthritis have only 20%, while the rate of people without running habits is 1 times higher.
Interestingly, the higher the running volume, the healthier the knees.
10Leg Muscles
Running can change the muscle tissue of the legs. After a long time of training, you will find that the muscles of the legs become very strong and muscular.
Running can strengthen cardiovascular and respiratory function, promote the health of muscles and nerves, improve the body's resistance to disease. In the low temperature winter, continuous short-step jogging can stimulate the body's protective reaction, accelerate blood circulation, accelerate the brain temperature center function.
11Stomach
Long-distance jogging makes people feel full and optimistic, it can increase appetite and enhance digestion, promote nutrient absorption, of course, it's more enviable how to eat and not gain weight, haha.
12Whole Body Muscles
Long-term long-distance jogging can strengthen the muscles of the lungs, heart, neck, chest, arms and waist, hip, leg, small leg, foot and other places. Running is the foundation of all sports and will have a positive impact on other sports you participate in.
13Bones
Long-term long-distance jogging can increase the strength and toughness of the joints, and the softness of the ligaments. It can also increase the strength and density of the bones, prevent elderly people from suffering from degenerative osteoporosis. Take a look at the marathon athletes in the world today, you'll see how strong the bones of marathon runners are.
In fact, as long as you take three days a week to run, your cartilage will become stronger and stronger due to stimulation, and vitamin D will be synthesized in the body, increasing bone density. After persisting for three months, your fracture risk will be 40% lower than that of peers.
