running towards better health
TRANSCRIPT
Effects on the brain :
A natural compound (epicatechin) and exercise boost memory in mice and may help protect against cognitive decline in aging, says newly published research
To manage jet lag :
Maintaining a regular regimen of running even a short distance, starting the day or morning after landing in a new time zone, helped me remain energised and perky, even without generous doses of coffee.
Team up :
While you run you make new acquaintances in the park, in a gym, on the road. As you greet them, they tend to reciprocate and, then all of a sudden, you have a few more friends.

FOR TEENS
Struggle with self-image, and runners cope better than their sedentary counterparts.
Additionally, bone mass and density build till the age of 35
Exercises help teenage bones absorb calcium and other minerals and get stronger and healthier
Running helps in keeping oestrogen levels steady and even helps reduce menstrual cramps.
Activity in these years helps the body build insurance for later years and protects it from, or delays, the onset of osteoporosis.
