The benefits of running for the body
- During jogging, your heart rate increases, which in turn improves blood pulsation in the body. Due to accelerated blood circulation, the level of metabolic processes increases, and this helps to cleanse the body.
- At rest, people who jog regularly have a decrease in heart rate, which indicates an increase in the quality of heart function.
- Running helps normalize blood pressure.
- While running, the digestive system is stimulated: intestinal function improves, the gallbladder is cleansed, liver function is normalized, and the load on the kidneys is reduced.
- Running also has a positive effect on the endocrine system: hormonal levels are normalized, the volume of adipose tissue is reduced, and the skin of the body becomes smooth and toned.
- Runners reduce their risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes and lung cancer.
- Regular jogging is the key to strong immunity and healthy blood vessels.
- Frequent jogging is excellent for developing overall endurance.
- While jogging, blood circulation in the pelvis improves, which is the key to longevity in the “intimate” sphere of a person’s life.
- Jogging eliminates congestion in the body, accelerates the growth of new cells, and promotes rapid healing of wounds.
- By accelerating blood circulation, running also affects a person’s life expectancy. With age, the rate of blood circulation decreases, which leads to aging of the body. And regular jogging will make it possible to look 30 at the age of 50. This means running is the source of our youth!
Tips for beginners
Beginning athletes should heed the following advice:
- Starting jogging outside in winter is strictly prohibited. It is better to wait for warmer weather or give preference to training on a treadmill.
- To lose weight through running, you need to adjust your diet: include more fruits and vegetables, eat less fatty and unhealthy foods.
- Do not eat for an hour before or after class.
- Make a table in which you enter the day, time and distance of each run.

With the help of running, girls can get rid of excess body weight, normalize hormonal levels and metabolic processes. The body will become toned and elastic, and the skin will acquire a healthy appearance due to the saturation of the blood with oxygen.

Psychological benefits of running
Running is not only a means to keep your body in good shape, but also your body in a healthy and vigorous state. This is also a wonderful psychological help!
Jogging is:
- Source of happiness and joy.
While jogging, the so-called “hormone of happiness” is produced - endorphin, which has a positive effect on the nervous system and the emotional state of a person in general. Runners do not know what depression is, they are always in a great mood, and a feeling of victory and euphoria visits them after every run. Follow their example and be happy!
- Depressant.
In the modern world, people face many problems and stress every day. And while jogging, the brain rests, anxiety dissipates, and nervous tension disappears. Runners rarely suffer from insomnia.
- Development of willpower.
A person who has only recently decided to run regularly has to fight his laziness to force himself to go for a run or stand on the treadmill. And having willpower has a positive effect on achieving success in any area of life.
- A means of gaining confidence in yourself and your abilities.
The satisfaction that comes to a person after a run makes him believe in himself and his capabilities. And sometimes while running you don’t even want to stop. There is a feeling that the body is capable of more, even longer distances. How can you not believe in yourself?
Contraindications for jogging
Adverse consequences may be associated with the presence of sources of chronic infection, which, under the influence of physical activity, provoke the development of a disease with a latent course, for example, interstitial myocarditis and others. Catastrophic results at a distance due to chronic intoxication with nicotine and alcohol are described.
The question of the possibility of developing negative consequences of diseases that arose long before the start of various physical activities is also important because sports in recent years have become widespread not only among young people, but also among older people. Research results indicate a significant decrease in the compensatory and adaptive mechanisms of the aging body, which manifests itself most sharply under conditions of physical activity. This requires careful prescribing of running loads for elderly people.
The benefits of running for women and men
In addition to all the above facts about the benefits of jogging for physical and mental health, jogging has some other positive aspects for a person, depending on his gender.
Running is beneficial for women for a number of reasons:
- Jogging helps correct hormonal balance, which means goodbye cellulite, sagging skin and grueling diets! And, of course, excess fat on the hips and stomach.
- Regular running will help get rid of swelling, and you will always look fresh and light!
- Jogging helps normalize the functioning of female organs due to the fact that blood flows to them faster. As a result, libido increases, and men will follow you not only with their eyes
