#2 Running slows down the ageing process
According to a study published in the Psychonomic Bulletin & Review back in 2012, regular exercises that involve running help diminish the negative effects associated with ageing such as dementia or mental decline.
Additionally, other research studies have also consistently concluded that, when it came to older adults who exercised regularly, they performed better on mental ability tests by quite a margin when compared to other unfit people of the same age category.
Moreover, older people who run and shed their sedentary lifestyles are also at a lower risk of contracting arthritis, heart disease and diabetes, thereby extending their lifespan.
