Jogging is has lots of benefits for the body like strengthening the immune system.

Benefits of Jogging

Makes immune system stronger

For the better part of a century, exercise scientists thought vigorous exercise could potentially leave you weakened and at risk for infection and disease. A closer look at the research indicates the opposite is true.

Moderate exercise, like jogging, actually strengthens your body’s response to illness. That holds true for both short-term illnesses, like upper respiratory tract infections, and long-term illnesses, like diabetes.

Protects from effects of stress

Whether you’re a jogger or Hatha yoga enthusiast, you’re bound to encounter stress. Jogging may protect the brain from the harmful effects of stress.

Aerobic exercise, like jogging, could potentially improve executive functioning and protect the brain from decline related to aging and stress.

Among mice exposed to stressful situations, those who were regularly allowed to run on a wheel performed better, making the fewest errors following a maze and demonstrating the highest ability to remember and navigate skillfully.

Keeps spine super flexible

In between the bony vertebrae in your back, small, flexible discs act like protective pads. The discs are actually sacs filled with fluid. They can shrink and wear out as you get older, especially if you live a relatively sedentary life.

Sitting for long periods can really add to the pressure on these discs over time.

The good news is that jogging or running preserves the size and flexibility of these discs.

Regular joggers who ran at a pace of 2 meters per second (m/s) had better disc hydration and higher levels of glycosaminoglycan (a kind of lubricant) in their discs.

Jogging super fitness for the spine.

Super cool fitness routine!
