Benefits of a 30-minute run

You don't have to wait months for even one 30-minute run to show you the benefits that are visible to the naked eye.

1.Studies have shown that exercise can give you an immediate mood boost and help you start the day with full vigour.

2.Running may be the best way to beat the Monday blues or a depressed mood when you return to work from holiday, as a 30-minute run can lift your mood.

3.Exercise has significant antidepressant effects and is as good as antidepressant medication.

4.Running can prepare you to deal with everyday stresses and challenges without panicking. You will stop overthinking and feel more relaxed.

5. Running immediately reduces activity in the frontal cortex, making it the easiest and healthiest way to get rid of daily stress.

6.Running significantly enhances your emotional experience because the hormonal changes that occur with running, such as the secretion of dopamine, endorphins, etc., also stimulate your pleasure and reward receptors.

7.Running triggers the production of endogenous cannabinoids, making you happier and more focused.

8.Researchers have found that exercise improves mood and creativity, allowing you to think independently.

9.Running helps you burn a lot of calories, and what you may not know is that your body doesn't stop even when your run is over. Your basal metabolism will remain higher than pre-exercise levels for some time to come, which helps to burn more calories.

10.Running will help you fall asleep easier and faster, and it will also improve the duration and quality of your sleep.
