A lot of people really want to get into running for health benefits,
but what many people don't realize is that running can also have other
positive effects on you and the people around you. Running can be be
great for reliving stress and depression. When you run, your body
releases endorphins, which are its natural antidepressants. You should
just try to go out and run for a while. It works wonders! Running is
great for your heart and blood pressure and can help fight disease. It
also gives you a huge boost in energy. Lastly, it is a GREAT way to
lose weight. Everyone "knows" this, but no one wants to seem to do the
work. Most people seem to be content hopping from diet to diet when
none of them work.
