Running benefits

The health benefit of running exercise are many and varied.
Running is one of the most efficient and inexpensive ways to stay healthy; the only equipment required is a good pair of shoes. 
Many start running to manage their weight, but later find it is a good way to get fit and stay healthy. Running is beneficial in three main categories, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Running Exercise Benefits:

-Running is one of the top activities for burning fat and keeping your metabolism high. In fact, with the exception of cross-country skiing, running burns more calories per minute than any other form of cardiovascular exercise.

-Running reduces the risk of heart attacks, by strengthening the heart and lowering blood pressure. Running lowers blood pressure and maintains the elasticity of arteries incredibly well because as you run your arteries expand and contract nearly three times as much as usual.

-Running also helps maintain and improve general health. It raises HDL(or "good") cholesterol, reduces the risk of blood clots and strokes, and encourages use of the 50% of your lungs that usually go unused.

-Running also boost the immune system by creating a higher concentration of lymphocytes (white blood cells that attack disease), thus reducing the risk of getting sick or contracting a disease.
