A recent read, in the internet, reveals these benefits of running: "If you lead a hectic and stressful life,
take heart - running can be your friend. Psychologically running gives you a set amount of time to be
alone with your thoughts. If you're able to use this to your advantage, you can use that time to get
your brain around an issue at the office or the problem with your spouse. In studies, regular runners
generally say they live a happier, more stress-free life than their housebound counterparts. Aside
from being happier because you're in better shape and feeling good, endorphins play a big role in
these results. Endorphins are the "feel good" hormones that the body uses to help quell pain. They
also help slow the ageing process, relieves stress and anxiety, and enhance the immune system."
As an avid runner, I can testify to the truth of the above statement.
