One action is highly effective in fighting cancer and nourishing the kidneys

Among many sports, running is a form of exercise that many people like and is loved by people of all ages. In addition to the advantages of not being restricted by venue or equipment and being simple and easy to do, running also has many benefits to human health.

1. Running can improve your brain power and IQ
Running can make people healthy and fit, but it is also an absolute "brainwork". A scientific research report from the University of Cambridge in the UK reveals the relationship between running and intelligence. According to research results, taking time out to jog a few days a week can stimulate the brain and improve one's thinking ability. Tens of thousands of people have found that new brain cells have appeared in the memory-related areas of the brain after running for a few days, which undoubtedly enhances people's memory ability and allows them to learn faster and more efficiently. No wonder many scientists and big names in various fields are running enthusiasts.

2. Running can beautify the skin and reduce skin cancer <br> Running can also make the skin more perfect? ​​This is not a fantasy. Running plus coffee can effectively reduce the incidence of skin cancer, and running itself can make the skin whiter. Whitening is another additional benefit of running. Running for a long time is like giving your face a "steam sauna". The continuous sweat speeds up the skin's metabolism and also washes away the "dirt" on your face. Compared to expensive cosmetics, running is very cost-effective.

3. Running can reduce mortality <br> Research shows that compared with people who do not run, people who run have a 30% lower overall risk of death, including a 45% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease. On average, runners live three years longer than non-runners. Further research found that even if you only run for 5 minutes a day, and the total running mileage and speed per week are less than 9.6 kilometers, or you only run once or twice a week, you can reduce the risk of death.

4. Running can improve muscle quality and enhance body toughness <br> Running is a whole-body exercise. Long-term persistence can enhance the resistance of tendons, ligaments and joints to injury and reduce the chance of sports injuries. At the same time, skin, muscles and connective tissue can also become stronger.

5. Running can relieve stress and make you more relaxed and confident <br> Jogging can inhibit the secretion of adrenaline and cortisol, two hormones that can cause tension, and at the same time release "endorphins" that make people feel relaxed. Running can also effectively suppress symptoms of depression. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, currently 20% of general practitioners would recommend running as an alternative to medication as an auxiliary treatment when treating depression.
