Not just Deepika, a lot of people swear by running to stay fit. This is the perfect regime for people who love spending time outdoors and would like to stay away from the gym. And, not to forget, it is an amazing way to lose weight on the go without too much of a hassle. This is because, for optimum weight loss, it is needed that you burn way more calories than you consume. Running, which requires you to exercise a lot of muscles at the same time does exactly this. Hence, it is a form of intense workout which can help you shed weight faster and in a more efficient way. Plus, it also ensures that you burn calories even after you are done working out (sometimes, even up to 48 hours after the workout!).

What running also does is suppress your hunger hormones. When this happens, you are bound to feel satiated and full and thus find a way to battle the hunger hormones.

Running is also an extremely good option for those who are thinking of losing their belly fat, which is one of the hardest things to do. You don’t even have to switch your diet for this. Studies have even proved that running 1 kilometre on the treadmill delivers better results than walking for the same equal distance.

Apart from weight loss, running also poses a lot more benefits. Running not only ensures that you exercise your joints and muscles proactively, but it also helps you maintain better heart health. Running for as little as 5-10 minutes a day can help you lower your cholesterol levels, reduce the chances of heart diseases and take the risk of blood sugar problems.
