Running is hard. You’ll be tired and exhausted. But why do you have to do it?
Our body is built for being active. Our skin is elastic so it won’t break when we stretch. Our bones are strong enough to endure the impact of movement we do. Each bones are connected by different types of joint that enable us to do move around without problem.
When you start moving, your heart pumps blood faster to deliver oxygen to your organs. The more intense your movement, the harder your body will work. It’s not just your heart. Your whole metabolic system will move faster, so that you will experience the rising of body temperature and also, sweating.
So is it good?
Running can Burn Excess Fat
You must be familiar with the word “calories” if you are mindful about your weight.
Calories is a measure of energy. You get the calories from the foods and drinks that you consume. Every activity that you do will consume those calories. The more intense your activity, the more it will use any calories stored in your body, including fat.
Probably this is the most popular way to lose weight. It is also well known as a cardio exercise. If you run a lot, then your whole system will move faster. Then some portion of body fat will be turned into calories to give your organs some energy. Basically, running will make your body consume more excess fat at faster rates.
Running Makes Better Sleep and Mood Improvement
There are a lot studies that found the positive correlations between running in the morning and sleeping at night.
Well, let’s talk about how that would feel for a while. You kick start your day with exercise which gives yourself time to completely wake up. Then, you go to work or school until the evening. By the time you finished dinner, you can feel both of your mind and body need rest. That’s why you’ll be able to sleep better, and when you sleep better, you’ll feel better the next day.
Running can Reduce Stress
Are you feeling upset or depressed? Go for a run for at least 1 hour and you’ll feel the difference. It may take even just 15 minutes of good run to improve your mood. It’s a healthy way to channel all your negative energy and transform it into something good for your body.
The Bottom Line
Running is a hard work, compared to sitting on your couch and watching TV. However, it is beneficial for your body and it needs it. So, whenever you have a chance, just run around!
