Running for a long time, the body has become thinner, but people have become older? What’s going on?
First of all, we need to understand that being physically thin is not necessarily a bad thing. Aerobic exercise, such as running, can speed up metabolism and promote fat burning, which can lead to weight loss. Moreover, moderate weight loss can improve physical health and reduce the risk of disease.
However, running too much or not getting enough nutrients can lead to excessive weight loss, which not only affects physical health, but also makes people look older. This is because excessive weight loss can lead to sagging skin and wrinkles, which can make people look older. In addition, although running can exercise the body, the wear and tear on joints and muscles cannot be ignored. Some people run in an incorrect posture or exercise too much, which can easily lead to joint injuries and muscle fatigue, which can also accelerate the aging of the body. In addition to physical health problems, mental state can also affect a person’s appearance and degree of aging. Long-term running can relieve stress, improve mood, and make people look younger and refreshed. However, if you pursue too much performance or competition during running, it will have a negative impact on your psychology and accelerate the aging of your body.

What are the benefits of running for a long time?
First of all, running strengthens the heart and lungs, improving the body’s endurance and lung capacity. As you run for more time, you’ll notice that your breathing becomes deeper and more even, and you’re no longer out of breath as much as you used to. Secondly, running helps to improve blood circulation. By running, the heart contracts more vigorously and the blood flows faster, which helps remove toxins and waste products from the blood, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. In addition, running boosts immunity. Exercise helps boost the function of your immune system and makes you less likely to get sick. If you insist on running for a long time, your body’s resistance will be significantly enhanced, and you will have better resistance to common diseases such as colds and flu. Mentally, running also has a positive effect. Through running, you can release stress, relax your mind, and help you better cope with anxiety, depression and other psychological problems. At the same time, running stimulates the release of endorphins and other pleasurable substances in the brain, making you feel happy and satisfied.

Finally, running can also help you get in shape. Long-term running can burn fat, reduce weight, and make the body more compact and linear. Running, along with a sensible diet, can help you get a healthy, well-proportioned body.

What is the difference between running at night and running in the morning?
First of all, from an environmental perspective, cities are usually brightly lit at night, while cities in the morning are likely to be quieter and have cleaner air. This provides runners with two very different running environments.
Secondly, from a physiological point of view, the effects of night running and morning running on the human body are also different. Running at night can help relieve the stress of the day, relax your mind and promote sleep. Morning jogging helps to increase the body’s metabolic rate, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and enhance the body’s immunity.

In addition, from the perspective of psychological feelings, night running is also different from morning running. Running at night can make people forget the troubles of the day, immerse themselves in the quiet night, and enjoy the unique tranquility and relaxation. A morning jog can be a great way to recharge yourself and meet the challenges of the new day, as well as boost your confidence and motivation. In short, whether you choose to run at night or in the morning, it has its own unique charm and advantages. Runners can choose a running time that suits them according to their living habits, work schedule, and physical condition.
