Running Benefits for Teen Girls

Teen girls can benefit in almost every aspect of life by taking up running. Your daughter will find that her mood and metabolism increases, her health improves, her muscles grow and her risk of disease decreases if she takes up running. According to KidsHealth, your teen needs at least 60 minutes of moderate exercise each day, and running certainly satisfies that requirement.

  1. Running Keeps Bones and Skin Healthy

    • According to WebMD, running is an effective way to ensure your teen̵7;s bones stay strong. Running is considered a weight-bearing exercise, which keeps bones strong. Because most teens are more concerned with what̵7;s on the outside than what̵7;s on the inside, your daughter might be more interested in knowing that running can improve her skin tone, in addition to her bones. Running helps boost your teen̵7;s circulation. This helps her body transfer nutrients to her skin, detoxify her skin and naturally produce collagen, which prevents wrinkles and sagging skin.

    Lowers Risk of Disease

    • When you encourage your teenage daughter to take up running or jogging, you are helping her decrease her risk of several diseases. According to an article in ̶0;Women̵7;s Health Magazine,̶1; running is considered a vigorous activity and those who participate in vigorous activities are 30 percent less likely to develop breast cancer. Running also decreases your daughter̵7;s risk of many other cancers, heart disease, diabetes and stroke.

    Running Makes the Body Better

    • One of the main reasons your teen might want to consider running as a physical activity is the benefit it will provide her body. According to KidsHealth, running is an effective way to burn more calories and tone muscle. This helps your teen keep her body toned and fit, making her healthier than she was before she started running.

    Running Improves Mood

    • According to the "Women̵7;s Health Magazine" article, runners have less stress, are in a better mood and feel less anxiety than people that do not run. The endorphins released into the body when your teen girl runs can help fight her stress and improve her mood.
