Yesterday I had some free time for running so I went to the seaside for a 1 hour run and would like to share the following with you:
Health benefits of running and jogging
Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can:
help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise
strengthen muscles
improve cardiovascular fitness
burn plenty of kilojoules
help maintain a healthy weight.
An inactive lifestyle is associated with higher mortality, coronary artery disease, hypertension and stroke. It is also a primary cause of most chronic diseases, as the body rapidly adapts to insufficient physical activity which results in substantially reduced quality of life.
Regular physical activity such as running can significantly improve mental health, self-confidence, healthy ageing, and quality of life.
