Run Towards Better Health

healthy livign advice from our fareham chiroprctor We all know that exercise is one of the best forms of medicine there is! In fact, according to our Fareham chiropractor, regular exercise – and running in particular – can provide health benefits that stretch well beyond any prescription a doctor could write.  Going for regular runs can help to prevent obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, some cancers, and many other health conditions. What’s more, running can also greatly improve the quality of your emotional and mental life, and may even help you to live longer.

Here is just a small list of how you can run your way to better health:

1. Running makes you happier.

If you’ve ever exercised regularly, you’ll have most likely experienced the elation it can provide. No matter how good or bad you feel at any given moment, exercise will almost certainly make you feel better.

2: Running helps you get fit.

You already know that exercise burns calories while you’re working out, but did you know that the calories continue to burn even after you’ve stopped? Bonus!

3. Running strengthens your bones.

Going for regular jogs will help to increase bone mass and can even help to prevent age-related bone loss.

4. Running will keep you sharper, even as you age.

Worried about losing your concentration or sharpness as you get older? Running regularly is one of the best ways you can stay “with it”. Frequent exercise is one of the best ways to helps defeat age-related mental decline. This is particularly true for functions such as task switching, selective attention, and working memory.

 5. Running adds years to your life.

Even if you run for just 30 minutes, five times a week, you are likely to live longer than by not exercising at all!

So what is stopping you from taking up running?

Even if you suffer from back pain, your chiropractor or health professional can help you to work out a gentle plan to reap the rewards of this exercise.
