Running – Good for Your Eyes?



You're probably familiar with some of the health benefits of running, such as improved cardiovascular function and weight loss, but did you know that it could also help prevent vision loss?

A pair of studies from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory tracked approximately 41,000 runners for more than seven years, and found that running reduced the risk of both cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.

Researchers found that men running 40 miles a week had a 35 percent lower risk of cataracts than men running 10 miles a week. The fastest 10K racers also had lower rates than slower runners. So, to keep your eyes in tip-top shape, it helps to run faster and longer.

Well if this fact is true, let us start to jog everyday to improve our eyesight. And of course not only that, jog can contribute to weight lose, to release some stress and makes you more energetic. :)


A blessed Tuesday.
