Researchers revealed that running is indeed the best exercise.

STATES CHRONICLE – Now specialists had made it official, arguing that running is the best exercise. One hour of running may increase your lifespan with seven hours. Couch potatoes should feel motivated, leave the remote control and go for a run. A new research, which will soon be released in Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, unveiled that runners have a more extended life expectancy compared to people who do not exercise.

New study indicated that running is the best exercise

Their lives may be prolonged with 3.2 years due to running. Nevertheless, there are factors like drinking, smoking, race, ethnicity, weight and sex which influence that timespan. Scientists from Iowa State University examined existing information to find out if there are other aerobic exercises, like biking or walking, which might have the same effect on people’s lifespan. They have also investigated whether too much running may lead to early morality and also if this compromise is indeed worth it.

They discovered that the biggest longevity advantage was revealed in people who did several physical activities, running included. Individuals who were obsessed with fitness exercises indicated to have a 43% decrease in the risk of death. This benefit came after people established a particular routine, running a couple of hours per week. Now, people should not believe that they need to run every day for hours on end to live longer.

Running a few hours per week may increase people’s lifespan

Only four hours per week of running could bring anyone the benefits of a longer and healthy life. Dr. Angelique Brellenthin, the co-author of the study and a post-doctoral fellow at Iowa State University, indicated that 30 to 60 minutes of running every week are bound to enhance longevity, compared to those who do not exercise at all. She declared herself to feel encouraged by such findings which suggest that 30 minutes for three or four times per week could increase people’s lifespan.

People who have a chaotic and busy schedule should try to exercise as much as possible since running is also a great stress reliever. Besides benefiting from a longer life, running also leads to having an overall better life, with better cognitive function and a better physical.  Regular exercising increases gray matter volume in the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus of the brain. This means that running also lowers the risk of developing neurological diseases, reducing the neurological illness-connected mortality.
