Physical changes after running for a year

With the continuous advancement of modern life, more and more young people are beginning to give up their mornings and indulge in nightlife at night, causing their physical fitness to deteriorate. So some people started to develop the habit of running, but usually they could only stick to it for a short time and not for long. In fact, your body will feel sore after a short period of running, but as long as you persist, your body will continue to change. This article shares the physical changes after one year of running. Let’s take a look.

1. The body is lighter

If you keep running for a long time, your body fat will begin to decrease, the fat will be converted into muscle, the muscles will become tighter, and your body curves will become more beautiful. At the beginning, you may be out of breath after running a few hundred meters. Now, you can run 10km in one breath and experience the joy of running even more.

2. The skin becomes more elastic and the complexion becomes rosy.

People who insist on running sweat during exercise, which helps the body to excrete excess water and accumulated toxins to a certain extent. People who run regularly for a long time will look younger and more radiant than people of the same age, achieving true "reverse growth".

3. Relieve stress and maintain a happy mood.

Psychologists' research has shown that the cause of depression is a lack of hormones in brain neurons. When running, hormones will increase, and after running, hormone secretion will increase further, so running can eliminate people's depression.

4. The brain is more active.

When people keep running, the blood flow to the brain will increase, which will promote brain development and make them smarter. Experimental results by neuroscientists at the University of Münster in Germany show that people who have the habit of running have higher levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in their bodies, which can promote the growth of nerve cells (especially in the hippocampus) and extend the lifespan of nerve cells. This group of people also have higher levels of norepinephrine in their bodies, which means that they have better arousal and stress response abilities.

5. You won’t get sick easily and colds will stay away from you.

Immunity is the protective shield that protects the human body from external viruses. Running is one of the ways to strengthen immunity. By running, you can improve the overall quality of the human body and add points to your health. When you run outdoors, you become more acclimated to changing temperatures, humidity, and other environmental factors, making you less likely to get sick.

Of course, there are more benefits to running than just that. If you keep running for a long time, your laziness will be reduced and your personality charm will be shaped to a certain extent. If you haven't really persisted in anything, why not keep running? Maybe you will get unexpected gains.
