After the age of 45 years old to adhere to daily running, is slowing down aging, or will accelerate aging?

Nowadays, many people pay more attention to body shaping and health care, so more and more people are joining the ranks of sports, and running is a more popular form of exercise.

No matter what purpose you are running, as long as you can adhere to it for a long time, you can reap unexpected benefits, and some people even believe that insisting on running can prevent many chronic diseases, which are more effective than drugs.

However, some middle-aged people after 45 years old also have the habit of running all year round, but after insisting on running for a year, their faces not only do not look younger but feel older, how is this?

After 45 years old, insist on running every day, is it slowing down aging, or will accelerate aging? It is recommended to know!

First of all, to understand the benefits of running.

First, it can fight vascular aging

The Journal of the American College of Cardiology 2020 published the results of a study, that running for 6 months can make the blood vessels 4 years younger. The object of this study was the general public who had no previous running experience, and they were allowed to maintain the running training for 6 months.

The results of the study showed that after 6 months of regular training, the blood pressure and atherosclerosis of these people were significantly reduced, and the age of blood vessels was 4 years younger.

Second, strong muscles and bones

When people run, the whole body muscles can be exercised, and after a long time of persistence, the purpose of strong muscles can be achieved. At the same time, running can also improve the body's blood circulation, enhance the strength of the bones, and accelerate the body's metabolism to ensure that there is a sufficient supply of nutrients in the bones, which can prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis and bone diseases.

Third, improve lung capacity

Running belongs to aerobic exercise, adhere to running helps the body in the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen, enhances the gas exchange function, lung blood to flow smoothly, can also help the lungs to discharge toxins, reduce the burden on the lungs, and improve lung capacity.

Fourth, it is good for weight loss and slimming

Through running, people can improve the basal metabolic rate, which helps burn fat in the body and accelerate the consumption of lipid substances. Therefore, to lose weight, while controlling the intake of high-fat and high-calorie food, insist on running every day, it can help lose weight and maintain a good figure.

Fifth, slow down the speed of skin aging

Some people say that exercise is the best skin care product, but perhaps you still do not believe it, "Health Times" once published an article, saying that regular participation in sports activities, not only can promote body microcirculation, but also improve the skin's ability to absorb oxygen, skin waste with sweat discharge, can make the skin smoother and cleaner.

So, on the whole. Adhering to running is good for your health and helps to slow down aging. So, why do some 45-year-old people who insist on running not younger but older? Perhaps it has something to do with oxidative stress.

When people inhale oxygen, it will be converted into energy, which can accelerate the body to burn fat and sugar, but it will also produce oxidized free radicals, and this substance will cause damage to human cells and tissues.

If people who insist on running consume too much oxygen to burn fat and sugar, they will correspondingly produce more oxidized free radicals, thus speeding up the speed of getting old.

Especially for middle-aged people after 45 years old, their physical strength has decreased, and if they run beyond their capacity for a long time, oxidized free radicals may rise continuously and trigger human aging.

Therefore, running is not the more the better, and not the faster the better, but should be gradual and moderate. When you run when the feeling of discomfort, must slowly stop, do not be brave.

In addition, for runners, barefoot running, wearing sandals, and leather shoes are not appropriate, it is recommended to buy a pair of running shoes. Running shoes can avoid trauma to bare feet and can also cushion the impact of the ground. Running shoes have elastic materials in the midsole layer. When the feet hit the ground, although the human body will receive 2-3 times the weight of the impact, the cushioning materials in the midsole layer of the running shoes can absorb part of the impact, thus avoiding the human muscles and joints from the big impact and playing a very good protection role.
