Benefits Of Running

In my fitness experience, running improves our health and general well-being. It means if running is not part of your fitness routine, you might be missing out on the following.

Quick Weight Loss

Running suppresses appetite, preventing you from eating more. A little-known fact is that running is one of the two exercises that allow you to burn more calories in one minute. The other exercise is cross country skiing.

Improved Mood

Running triggers the body to release the feel-good hormones endorphins. Feel-good hormones improve your mood, allowing you to get up and conquer the world.

Reduced Risk of Certain Diseases

Running makes your arteries more elastic, keeping heart attacks at bay. This easy and free exercise also reduces the risk of diabetes, osteoporosis, and breast cancer.

Improved Confidence

This is an emotional or psychological benefit of running. Normally, running keeps you in good form physically. Commendable physical looks positively affect your self-esteem and confidence.

The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
