You can also try trail running if road running is too easy for you. All in all you will be a more desirable and attractive partner. Research has also shown that 20 minutes of vigorous running can boost physiological sexual arousal in women. Not only that, but almost half of them think that the longer you run, the better your sex life.
This is an interesting finding because men are generally not good at showing emotions. Suppressing emotions is not very healthy. Plus, showing affection and emotions will also help your friends and family. Luckily, you are far less likely to suffer from that problem. This will not only reduce the chances of inflammation but your IQ will also improve.
This study confirms that it can trim up to 4 years off the arterial age. In other words, your arteries will be 4 years younger after a few months of long distance running. All in all, running has significantly reduced the chances of heart attack, stroke, and other serious complications. This is a significant improvement. The results were even better for the group that combined aerobic exercise with weight training. Running will gradually affect and improve your diet and lifestyle habits.

It is one of the most common reasons for visit to doctors. Thanks to running, you will be able to keep these problems at bay. Earlier it was believed that exercise cannot help intervertebral discs in anyway. Mainly because it is too slow to respond but a recent study has shown that running can actually strengthen the discs.
These are some of the most important muscles in your body. Running produces the chemicals that help you fight and forget physical pain. Runners are happier, more positive and have higher self-esteem, according to a study by Glasgow Caledonian University of more than 8, pavement pounders, who scored 4. The average score is 4. Another study found that the mental health benefits of running were almost instantaneous. Always forgetting where you left your car keys? Start running instead, becausae regular aerobic exercise increases the size of your hippocampus, an area of the brain responsible for memory and learning, according to a study from the University of British Columbia.
Periods of prolonged stress weaken the synapses between neurons, causing a negative impact on your processing power — but running helps keep these connections firing, according to the journal Neurobiology Of Learning And Memory. The brains of runners have better-connected neural pathways essential for higher-level cognitive functions than sedentary people, according to the University of Arizona.
Areas that worked especially well were those involved in working memory, multitasking, attention, decision-making and spatial and visual awareness. And that goes for both mental and physical benefits of the sport. On the mental side, the recent research by Stubbs found benefits in reduced stress and frustration, plus an improvement in memory and decision-making, after just 20 minutes of running.
Past research from Stubbs has shown that the benefits of running kick in after just 10 minutes and the benefits grow the more you run, up to about minutes a week. Running also strengthens bones. In a study of 51 young people with an average age of 18, half were assigned to add running into their routines, while the other half did not they did get some exercise, but didn't add a regular running regimen.
To get the benefits associated with running, the group of runners ran at a moderate pace for 30 minutes a day, five days a week, for three weeks. Those in that running group were found to sleep better, show signs of improved psychological functioning, and focus better during the day.
The same benefits are likely to apply to runners of any age. We know that aerobic activity is good for the heart, so it's no surprise that running can improve cardiovascular fitness. In general, the more people run, the healthier their hearts tend to be.
But you can get big benefits without having to do a lot: running just five minutes per day could add years to your life, according to a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
There has been some concern that extreme amounts of running — we're talking ultramarathon distances — could stress or scar the heart.
But a growing body of research seems to indicate that's not something to worry about. Researchers have found that people who run at least 40 miles per week have healthier hearts than those who run 13 miles a week, for example. If you want to keep your mind healthy as you age, research indicates exercising is one of the best things you can do.
A review of research on the cognitive-boosting effect of aerobic exercise which in many studies was either running, jogging, or brisk walking found that for children, running improved working memory and focus. For young adults, working memory saw a similar boost — as did task-switching ability. For older adults, this sort of activity provides a long list of cognitive benefits, including working memory, focus, and task switching.
A number of studies have shown that aerobic exercise can improve people's ability to cope with stress — and many of those studies focus on runners. In a review of research about exercise and stress published in Clinical Psychology Review , author Peter Salmon concludes that this "training recruits a process which confers enduring resilience to stress. Researchers think this may be because aerobic exercise increases levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine, and causes the brain to generate new neurons.
Few of us, however, simply want to live longer. Rather, we hope for a long, productive, healthy, active life.
Exercise nearly always wins this race. For example, recent research at Ball State University found that a group of year-old lifetime runners and bicyclists who had been exercising for 50 years had biological profiles closer to year-old graduate students than to their non-exercising year-old peers. In another famous study, Stanford researchers compared local runners in their mids with non-exercising Stanford community members who had the same top-notch medical care.
Twenty-one years later, the death rate was more than 50 percent lower among the runners. In other words, they were staying younger for longer. And the older the subjects became, the greater the advantages seen among runners. And sleep may be especially important for athletes. The more you exercise, the more you need quality sleep.
Also, the worse your sleep habits, the less likely you are to exercise regularly. However, a meta analysis of 23 studies on the topic produced an opposite finding. This is one running benefit that many find difficult to believe.
They reason that running is an impact sport, which must be bad on the joints. Looking for proof? Okay, fair enough. Likewise for weekly mileage. More running was better. Because it involves continuously moving your entire body weight, running burns more calories than most other activities.
You get almost as much from running slow but it takes twice as long.
