More so now than ever, running is a craze that is taking over America. Everywhere you look, there are people running outside, stores popping up to cater to the running community, even support groups of people who all go running together to keep each other accountable.
We all know running is good for you, but what exactly are the health benefits? What can you gain from running that makes the endeavor worthwhile?
Here are three reasons you should consider going for a run:
1) Weight Loss
Ever since humans have wanted to lose weight, they have turned to running to do so, and that hasn’t changed yet. Running is an excellent source of exercise, and regular running builds up muscles, burns calories, and gets you on the path to a better you.
2) Skincare
Have you ever looked at someone and noticed that their skin was just glowing? It may be because they are a runner. Running can help to eliminate toxins from the body through sweat, and when these toxins are eliminated, the body takes on a beautiful hue that can be linked back to running.
3) General Health
In addition to weight loss and skin care, running can provide a litany of benefits, including, but not limited to, lower blood pressure, increased blood flow, increased metabolism, and a greater sense of endurance.
