In the past few days, Wu Xiaoqiu, Dean of the National Institute of Finance at Renmin University of China and Dean of the China Capital Market Research Institute, has made a statement that goes viral: "Besides trading stocks, I often say I want to go for a run to exercise." Running is one of the best ways to strengthen my body, lose weight, and shape. Moreover, running stimulates the secretion of dopamine in the brain, which can also transmit messages of happiness and excitement. Running is a good remedy for combating depression, and it is a cure for depression that has been scientifically proven in the field of depression worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, currently 20% of general practitioners recommend running as an alternative medication for adjuvant treatment of depression. Snooker legend O'Sullivan once said, "Running did not cure depression, but it miraculously helped me control it well." John H. Greyster, a psychiatrist at the University of Wisconsin in the United States, also conducted a medical experiment. He randomly selected 28 patients with mild to moderate depression and divided them into three groups: one group for jogging exercise, one group for short-term psychotherapy, and one group for open-ended psychotherapy. Within a week, most jogging patients began to feel better, and within three weeks they all said, "Almost done." Grayster concluded that running is not only comparable to short-term psychotherapy in eliminating mild depression, but also more effective than unlimited long-term psychotherapy. Not only that, he followed up for two years and found that the majority of patients were still persistently running. From a neuroscience perspective, running can increase the levels of neurotransmitters such as endorphins in the body, thereby improving mood and alleviating depression. Southern Methodist University in the United States has found that humans can produce automatic stress relievers, and running is the source of this stress reliever - the root of anxiety comes from the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus in the brain, and if there are insufficient new neurons, it will trigger anxiety. Running can stimulate one's "new neurons" and alleviate anxiety. In the observations of psychologists and sociologists, the improvement that running brings to people under high stress and depression patients is not only intrinsic. Running is a sport for one person, but it is also a sport for a group of people. When runners integrate into the running community through training and competition, this is something that highly stressed individuals and patients with depression cannot achieve through medication treatment. "During the process of training together, everyone will feel respected, accepted, and recognized, which is also an important reason for their recovery." National second level psychological counselor He Rihui analyzed the role of running in the treatment of depression. "Running is not the entire cause of recovery, but a trigger point for improving their emotions." What help can running bring to athletes with these benefits, A group of scientists from abroad spent more than a decade researching - and ultimately, they found that the benefits of running go far beyond what the public can see, and its therapeutic power for many diseases even exceeds that of drugs. Firstly, it is the nemesis of migraines. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden have found that the biggest killer of migraines is running, as running can effectively
