How long does it take to run to stay healthy?

Exercise is the most important part of an active and healthy lifestyle, and running has naturally become the first sport for the public because it is simple, unrestricted by venues and strong enough. Even though many friends are proud of running in the sun and participating in marathons, for most runners, running for health is still the first goal of everyone's running.

A doctor at a medical center found that running for two and a half hours a week can significantly improve health. However, for many people who are keen on marathon, they must run for more than two and a half hours a week. Although the increase of running time will not further improve the health level, as long as it does not exceed your body's endurance, it will not cause harm to your body.

In addition, running to prolong life has always been an endless topic. As people get older, the number of mitochondria in cells will decrease, so cells will become less and less active, so the body will gradually age. The magic of running is that it can repair mitochondria, which can make cells more energetic, which means the body is younger. The most interesting thing about running is that it can make cells work as they did when they were young.

A researcher at the University of Colorado once said: Running will make your muscles younger. If you increase mitochondria by running, your young body will affect all aspects, such as reducing heart disease, reducing bone loss, reducing the chance of diabetes and so on. A man who has been running for 25 years said that running can not only make my body stronger, but also my heart stronger. More importantly, I made many friends, experienced the joy of running, and had the opportunity to travel all over the country through running. These are all things that no amount of drugs can do, and this is also the greatest value of running. If you go too far, you will get too far. If you want to be young and healthy, you need to run moderately. Anything too much or too little will not bring positive results.
