Run Don't Walk To Your Cardiovascular Fountain Of Youth!

Becoming young at heart is a gift throughout life at whatever age you my be. If your not already there, you can start age reversal at any age. How would you like to be in your senior years still running…not only with your grandchildren but with your great grandchildren as well. I'm not talking about a walk around the block, but an eight minute mile pace for two or four miles before breakfast.

Basically building the blocks if you want it...to your cardiovascular system. Preventative medicine is always much cheaper in the long run by developing sound exercise habits. Running is one of the best forms of exercise to benefit your cardiovascular health. If you don't like to run then other forms of exercise will work too. Running is a high aerobic activity therefore increases the metabolic rate of burning more calories. Running takes a lot of energy so it burns up many calories. So if you want to melt some pounds away while your working on your cardiovascular health, you get the benefits there as well.

Running makes your heart get bigger which is a good thing. With this pumping action blood flows freely from you heart delivering nutrients to all parts of your body. On the return trip the blood picks up waste products so your body can expel them.

More benefits include a much higher energy level with a higher red blood count. Running increases the production of red blood cells transferring oxygen throughout the body. Many newcomers to the world of running get discouraged in the early weeks of running because it's a little tough. Even veteran runners for the first mile or so, can be a little choppy until you get to the good part. But, that's why we keep going because we know the good of it and the benefits that come from it.

Running makes your breathing muscles much stronger. The oxygen in your lungs mix with blood sending out to all your muscles feeding through all the capillaries. It's so much more efficient than non-runners. Picture yourself pulling up to a red light. You the runner is a dragster and you look over to the 1947 Ford pickup to your left…that's the non-runner! It's as different as night and day.

One of the largest benefits of having this machine…your building at whatever age you may be…is it reduces your blood pressure! Heart disease still remains to be one of the leading causes of death every year. And, that's what gets me is because if there is one thing you should not be dieing from…is heart disease! People have control of it! This is what I'm getting at. You can't control getting into an auto wreck or getting your head shot off. However, you can control building a strong heart and cardiovascular system through exercise and good nutrition.

More of the same, running benefit's the cardiovascular system because the body releases endorphins into the blood stream. This high shot of endorphins into the blood is a rush! It's been proven to increase your sense of well being, mood and self image. All in all take care of you cardiovascular system and it will take care of you! Run don't walk to your fountain of youth. Don't wait until you get one of those wake up calls. Run copies off of this article and pass them around at work for the good health of your employees. You never know...because next time it may be to late. Life is precious, it can be gone in the blink of an eye.
