The benefits of regular jogging for men

Whether it is for men or women, jogging has great benefits. Since it is an aerobic exercise, regular jogging has a certain promoting effect on the lungs and respiratory system, liver, abdomen, waist and buttocks, and can also improve people's resistance. Below, I will introduce the benefits of jogging.

1. Lungs and respiratory system

Long-term middle- and long-distance running exercises can strengthen lung function and increase lung capacity - regular long-distance running can develop the respiratory muscles of the lungs, increase the amount of air exchange each time, and enhance lung function. I personally have a seasonal rhinitis attack every autumn, which is very torturous, but this year I started running and it didn't recur. I wonder if there is any connection?

Running can increase the average lung capacity from 5.8 liters to 6.2 liters. At the same time, the amount of oxygen carried in the blood will also be greatly increased.

2. Liver

For people with fatty liver disease, the best medicine is running. A new study shows that aerobic exercise such as running can slow the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in obese patients with prediabetes.

Researchers investigated 15 obese patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and asked them to run on a treadmill for 1 hour every day, with their heart rate reaching 85% of their maximum heart rate during exercise. After 7 consecutive days, the patients' insulin sensitivity increased and the liver's polyunsaturated fat index (PUI) increased by 84%. Researchers said these improvements were related to the increase in the hormone adiponectin, which can enhance a person's response to insulin, help fight inflammation, and reduce the risk of heart disease. In addition, aerobic exercise such as running can effectively burn fat and reduce the harm of fatty liver.

3. Abdomen

A flat abdomen or one with obvious abdominal grooves is the dream of many people. Many fitness coaches' suggestions and the abdominal muscle tearing exercises that are popular on the Internet can help you train your abdominal muscles to be stronger, but you also need aerobic exercises such as running to remove the thick fat packaging outside the abdominal muscles. Of course, you have to persist, because the fat in the abdomen is the most cunning, and it will rebound if you relax a little.

Studies have shown that 30 minutes of steady-state jogging can burn more than 390 calories, compared to 277 calories and 272 calories burned by cycling and tennis respectively for the same period of time. So, if you love the right sport, you can get a satisfactory body faster.

4. Waist and hips

The changes in your body caused by running are first reflected in this area. Many runners have had this experience: after running for a while, their weight has not decreased significantly, but their body shape has improved significantly, especially their waistline has become more beautiful.

The advantage of running over other sports is that, in addition to achieving the same training effects on muscles and joints as general exercise, your body can remain in a high metabolic state for four hours after exercise, which will burn more calories.
