Running may give runners an edge over their competition when it comes to improving their health. Research has shown that runners are less likely to die from heart disease or stroke. Also, running improves blood pressure and circulation. Runners also have a longer life expectancy than non-runners due to the fact that it reduces stress and increases sleep quality. Runners have an average life expectancy of 3.5 to 4.5 years longer than non-runners, according to one study.
Running may increase your life expectancy by almost three years, according to a study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. Runners who ran four hours a week for at least one year had a life expectancy increase of almost three years. In addition, runners had a 50% lower risk of early death, had fewer disabilities, and were able to live longer, more active lives.
Runners may have a few disadvantages. First, running is not always the healthiest form of exercise. Running's stress can result in dehydration and the urge to urinate. However, with proper planning, you can overcome these obstacles. You can also boost your confidence and reduce your stress by getting more exercise. Additionally, you can improve your social life by running.
It is best to examine your diet and lifestyle to determine if you are a good candidate for running. It is important to eat a balanced meal after each run and drink 16 ounces of water. You should also avoid foods that have a lot of sugar or fat in them. Your meal plan may even include some complex carbohydrates.
It is best to follow a healthy diet to answer the question "How long will it take me to lose weight?" A balanced diet will also keep you from overeating or gaining weight. To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume. A small caloric deficit will make you appear leaner. It is also important to incorporate resistance training into your workout routine to build muscle and burn more calories at the same time.
Running was shown to have lower cardiovascular disease, neurological disease, and cancer risks than walking in a study comparing the effects of running and walking. Additionally, running has been shown to improve the health of the brain as well as the body, specifically reducing body fat.
Take the time to read up on the research about running's effects on your body. You can find a wealth of information online or discuss your specific fitness needs with a physician or physical therapist.
There are many benefits of running, but you should also be aware of the disadvantages. For example, you should avoid caffeine before running. Running may also cause you to urinate more frequently than you would prefer.
