American scientists tried to determine the benefits of running and calculated how much it prolongs life.
It turned out that one hour of this kind of sport prolongs life by as much as seven hours. True, experts note that this effect appears only with constant training.
If you run occasionally and according to your mood, then this will not have a special effect on health. As noted by doctors, to restore health, it will be enough to run at least once a week, writes the website "Free Press".
It is noteworthy that due to regular jogging, the risk of premature death due to diseases of the cardiovascular system is reduced by 40%. According to scientists, running helps to reduce weight and normalize blood pressure. And this, in turn, leads to additional years of life.
As experts emphasize, even those who smoke, drink alcohol or suffer from various chronic diseases will get a health-improving effect from light jogging, the TV channel "360" reports."

Regular stimulation of the endocrine glands in this way will keep them in good shape, which will allow you to stay young and healthy for much longer.
Just pay attention to what Hollywood stars look like taking growth hormone from outside - they all look several decades younger than their age.
