1. Runners Live Longer Than Non-Runners

Runners have a 30% reduction in all-cause mortality according to a 2014 study in The Journal of The American College of Cardiology

The study examined the associations of running with all-cause mortality risks in 55,137 adults (average age 44 years old). Compared with nonrunners, runners had 30% lower risk of all-cause mortality as well as a 3-year life expectancy benefit. The mortality benefits in runners were similar across all groups of running times, distance, frequency, amount, and speed, compared with nonrunners.

Why should you be paying the same premiums when you have a lower risk of dying early than everyone else? Click HERE to learn more. 

2. Runners Have Lower Blood Pressure 

Runners are 41% less likely to take medication for high blood pressure if they run 2 marathons per year.

3. Runners Have Half The Chance of Dying From Heart Disease

Persistent runners have a 50% reduction in cardiovascular mortality according to a 2014 study in The Journal of The American College of Cardiology

The study examined the associations of running with cardiovascular mortality risks in 55,137 adults (average age 44 years old). Compared with nonrunners, runners had 45% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality as well as a 3-year life expectancy benefit. The mortality benefits in runners were similar across all groups of running times, distance, frequency, amount, and speed, compared with nonrunners. Persistent runners enjoyed additional health benefits.

4. Runners Have An Exponentially Lower Risk of Diabetes

A recent study in the Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that Runners are 87% less likely to be diabetic than non-marathoners if they run 2 marathons per year and 59% less likely to be diabetic than non-marathoners if they run 1 marathon every 5 years

This study tested 62,284 male and 45,040 female runners for the prevalence of hypertension, cholesterol levels, and diabetes decline from marathon participation (independent of annual running mileage.) Prevalence of all of these decreased with the frequency of marathons. Researchers suspect this may be due to the inclusion of longer training runs in preparation for marathons or to genetic or other innate differences between marathon and non-marathon runners.

Runners have SO much less risk of diabetes than everyone else! With all that hard work you deserve to be rewarded on your premiums. Click HERE to learn more. 

5. Runners Get Less Cataracts Later in Life

Runners have a 35% reduction in risk of getting cataracts later on in life according to The Journal of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science

The study tested over 40,000 male and female runners. Some association was attributable to the leanness of the faster, higher mileage runners.

6. Runners Are Happier

Running leads to a 19% reduction in depression according to a 2014 study in the JAMA Psychiatry Journal.

The study included 11 000 runners with information on depressive symptoms and frequency of physical activity at 23, 33, 42, and 50 years of age. At most ages, there was a significant trend of fewer depressive symptoms with more frequent running, equating to estimated reductions in risk of depression by 19%.
