Running as a cure

Most of us have changed our lifestyles from an active way of life to more sedentary lifestyles in the cities. We have overlooked the benefits of moving around and being active throughout our days. The lack of physical activities is maybe due to our work life or lack of enough time or space to move about. An easy way to move around within a short amount of time is running

Running is a great way to move about and improve your health and overall happiness.

The 8 cures by running

1. Running lowers blood pressure

Running may be as effective as prescribed drugs to lower blood pressure

2. Running lowers risk of Diabeties

Running can be an ideal form of exercise for people with diabetes as it helps improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin. This can be especially useful for people with type 2diabetes to help combat insulin resistance.

3.Running improve your mental health.

Most runners run because it makes them feel better. They have better mood, mental energy, fewer blue days, and the like.

6. Running improves your immunity.

It is generally accepted that moderate amounts of exercise improve immune system functions and hence reduce the risk of infection.
