() Running has been a popular form of exercise since the 1970s, and for good reason. Research shows that running even just once a week is enough for you to enjoy its benefits. In fact, a recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that any amount of running could decrease your risk of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Previous studies have shown that running for about five to ten minutes a day at a moderate pace can help reduce the risk of death from heart attack and stroke. However, these benefits max out at 4.5 hours per week, which suggests that people don’t need to run for hours every day to benefit from the exercise.

In the study, a team led by Australian researchers investigated the association between running and the risk of death from all causes, particularly heart disease and cancer. After analyzing data from fourteen studies with a total of 232,149 participants, they reported the following:

  • Regardless of the amount of time, distance or frequency, running is associated with a 27 percent lower risk of death from all causes for men and women.
  • Any amount of running per week is associated with a 30 percent reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease and a 23 percent reduced risk of death from cancer.
  • Any amount of running — even just once a week — could lead to substantial health improvements and increase longevity, but running frequently and for longer durations does not necessarily lead to greater reductions in a person’s risk of death from all causes.

Current guidelines set by the Department of Health and Human Services recommend that people get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity (e.g., running, cycling, swimming or walking) per week. This is supported by an earlier study by Danish researchers, who found that a person can enjoy maximum benefits by running for 30 minutes each day, five times a week. But this recent Australian-led study suggests that people can run for less than the recommended total hours per week and still enjoy considerable benefits, which is great news for many working adults.

Other health benefits of running

Taking up running doesn’t just benefit your heart. Other studies have also linked the following benefits to this aerobic exercise:

  • Helps improve mood and sleep quality — According to a study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, running every morning can help increase the amount of slow-wave sleep, or deep sleep, that you get at night. Running can also help stabilize your mood and decompress your mind.
  • Helps boost mental focus and alertness — Aerobic exercises like running increase blood flow to your brain, which can leave you feeling alert and invigorated.
  • Helps lower obesity risk — Running is the best exercise for burning extra calories. Hence, developing a weekly running routine can help you shed some pounds and maintain a healthy weight.
  • Helps with diabetes management — Experts say that running is the best exercise for diabetics because it helps improve insulin sensitivity. This is very important for stabilizing blood sugar levels. A study funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases also found that a healthy lifestyle, which includes dietary changes and increased physical activity, can help lower a person’s risk of Type 2 diabetes by 58 percent.
  • Increases longevity — According to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, running for five to 10 minutes a day at low speeds (less than six miles per hour) can help increase your life expectancy. Brisk walking in the park or a quick game of tennis also offers the same benefits, suggesting that any amount of exercise is better for you in the long run than no exercise at all.

Running is an inexpensive exercise that doesn’t require any equipment. You can do it anywhere, anytime, and it offers incredible health benefits. All it takes for you to enjoy them and maintain good overall health is commitment. To maximize the benefits of running, commit to a weekly schedule and combine it with a well-balanced diet and other healthy lifestyle changes.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
