In daily life, some people suffer from the "three highs", and some people suffer from work pressure, depression and anxiety. If your friend is also facing these problems, you may want to share this article with her. Exercise is the best medicine, and running is the easiest exercise "prescription" to start.
1. The "star" of the three-high crowd
High blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar, these three "old guys" have added a lot of trouble to the health of our modern people. Regular running can significantly improve cardiovascular function, make blood vessels more elastic, and make blood circulation smoother. Insisting on aerobic exercise can not only lower blood pressure, but also improve blood lipid levels and cholesterol levels. In particular, many people are afraid to start running because they are scared by the marathon. But in fact, running is not the same as a marathon, if it is simply to make the body healthier, aerobic jogging can be accepted by anyone. For the "three highs" group, it is recommended to run three times a week for 30 minutes each time, and then slowly increase the amount of exercise when the body adapts.
2. "Adjustment helper" for type II sugar people
For Type II, running is like a natural "insulin sensitizer." When exercising, as soon as the muscles contract, they can promote the uptake and use of glucose, making insulin more sensitive. Running consistently can not only help control blood sugar levels, but also prevent complications caused by diabetes. Morning runs are especially good for diabetics, but be sure to bring candy with you to avoid hypoglycemia.
3. The "Happy Code" for People with Depression
Running is known as the most natural antidepressant. When we run, our brain produces a lot of endorphins, which are "happy hormones" that are particularly effective in improving our mood. Running outdoors also allows you to get in touch with the sun and nature, and you get nourished with vitamin D for a better mental state. People who run consistently tend to get a good night's sleep and develop a more positive attitude towards life. Running can also help people set goals and give them a sense of accomplishment, which is especially helpful for recovering from depression.
4. The "calcium protector" of osteoporosis people
Many people may not know that running is a good way to increase bone density. Moderate running stimulates bone growth, can prevent and improve osteoporosis. The impact of running puts the right amount of stress on the bones, allowing calcium to settle down and reshaping bone tissue. In addition, running also makes the lower body muscles stronger, the balance is better, and the risk of falls is reduced. However, people with osteoporosis should be especially careful when they first start running, and it is best to listen to the doctor and start running slowly.
5. "Pressure Relief Valve" for Anxious People
In today's fast-paced world, anxiety is a common occurrence for many people. Running allows you to put your worries aside for a while and focus on your breath and pace. Studies say that aerobic exercise can reduce the level of stress hormones in the body and improve anxiety. Running also allows people time to stay and think, so that the mind can settle down and relax. It is recommended to try mindfulness running, which is a method of running meditation to reduce anxiety.
