Some direction from Dr Luitjohan on:

What Does Running Do for Your Body:
• Running is one of the best ways to improve cardiovascular health. This is because when we run, we distribute oxygen through our bodies with improved blood circulation. An increase in oxygenation is not only good for our hearts but essentially every major organ in the body as well.

• Running is helpful on our bones. Osteopenia and osteoporosis, which are conditions characterized by a decreased and low bone mineral density, can be prevented with the impact of running which helps to lay down new bone tissue and help our bones to become stronger.

• The “runner’s high” we hear about isn’t something you have to run a marathon to achieve. Running as little as 20 minutes releases feel good hormones called endorphins which directly reduce your body’s stress hormone, cortisol.
