Running is incredibly beneficial to the body, mind and spirit. Even short runs can leave you feeling more energised and focused.

When you become a runner, it changes your life. But you may not know how much it improves your overall health. Here are some amazing benefits of running.

Amazing benefits of running that will make you want to log extra miles

Running is a popular form of physical activity. It doesn&rsquo;t need much equipment and you can do it just about anywhere or at anytime that is convenient for you. It's also an activity that spans across ages as it's never too late to take up running.
Running is one of the most effective ways to burn calories and build cardiovascular endurance. It helps to increase your mental strength and if you run outdoors, you benefit from exposure to nature. It can also reduce stress, relieve anxiety and boost your mood. A beginner to exercise should start with brisk walking, progress to jogging and work up to running.
Whether it's your favorite part of the day or something you have to push yourself through, the benefits are undeniable. Here are some amazing benefits of running, as suggested by the US, National Institute of Health (NIH).
Better long term health
Running even five to 10 minutes a day, at slow speeds is associated with a drastically reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, according to a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Runners enjoy an overall improved quality of life. A consistent running habit can add extra time on the clock for you and save you from heart diseases as well.
Improves Immunity
The pulmonary benefits of running are incredible, each stride of our run forces our lungs to clear out most airborne bacteria. Running elevates body temperature while also improving the overall circulation in our bodies, thus helping build a robust immune system.
Better sleep
Quality sleep is essential for your health. Your body repairs itself when you're asleep, which is why you wake up feeling refreshed. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine has found that regular exercise can improve the quality of your sleep and help you sleep through the night. But try to avoid running too late in the day. This can interfere with how well you sleep at night.
Strengthens knees
No, running doesn&rsquo;t wreck your knees, it does the exact opposite. Research from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory shows that running decreases the risk of arthritis. That may be because it increases the flow of nutrients to the cartilage in your knee while also strengthening the ligaments around the joint.
Improves memory
If you find that you have problems with your memory, start running. It affects your brain in the short and long term. Aerobic exercise gets your heart rate up and makes you sweat. This can boost the size of your hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory and learning.

The death toll from the rain-triggered unprecedented floods in central China has risen to 51 with the official estimate of losses totalling about USD 10 billion.
The torrential rains, the heaviest in 1,000 years, have affected about three million people in Henan province and a total of 376,000 local residents have been relocated to safe places. The death toll caused by downpours and floods has increased to 51 in the Henan provincial capital of Zhengzhou.
Zhengzhou, meanwhile, downgraded its emergency response level as it continued to clean up after this week&rsquo;s devastating floods, but other parts of Henan province were bracing for more heavy rainfall, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported. 
Zhengzhou&nbsp;was hit by several days of heavy rainfall, causing floods of an intensity not seen in decades.
Over 8,000 military personnel worked in 10 different danger zones around the city, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Do you think technology is making the impossible possible? Well, this will&nbsp;definitely make you believe&nbsp;so.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Scientists in the United Arab Emirates are working towards new methods of weather manipulation in an attempt to get some respite from the heat and&nbsp;bring increased rainfall to the desert country &mdash;and so far, it appears the efforts have been successful.
The&nbsp;UAE's National Center of Meteorology&nbsp;recently published&nbsp;a series of videos on Instagram of heavy rain in Dubai. Trees swayed in the wind, and&nbsp;cars drove on rain-soaked roads bringing much relief to the city that was at one point sweltering at 50 degrees C. The videos were accompanied by radar images of clouds with "#cloudseeding."
The cloud seeding method employed in Dubai relies on drone technology. The drones are sent into the clouds where they release electric charges to produce precipitation that ultimately leads to rain.
Dubai receives an average rainfall of just 4 inches in a year

Even as the world struggles to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic, a new outbreak of Norovirus has been reported in the UK, and cases are on the rise, according to reports

Even as the world struggles to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic, a new outbreak of Norovirus has been reported in the UK, and cases are on the rise, according to reports.
A report in the Hindustan Times quotes Public Health England (PHE), the UK's health service saying that in the five weeks since the end of May, 154 cases of norovirus have been recorded in England, which is a three-fold increase in the number of cases over the same period in the last five years.
Norovirus is a highly contagious virus, and like Covid-19 it is asymptomatic in some people and presents problematic symptoms in others. It is also called the "winter vomiting bug".
It spreads mainly through contaminated food and surfaces and experts said outbreaks are usually recorded from November to April.
The most common symptoms include fever, headaches, body aches, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and stomach pain. It causes acute inflammation of the stomach or intestines in the affected person.
Experts have warned people to stay at home if they report any of the above symptoms and avoid passing on the food they have prepared or consumed to others.
As with Covid-19, experts recommend washing hands thoroughly after going out to reduce the risk of Norovirus infection.
A report in Mint adds, that as the Norovirus spreads, it mutates so rapidly that sometimes test kits cannot detect newly mutated strains.
While there are no prescribed medicines to treat the virus, experts say drinking plenty of water will help patients avoid being dehydrated by vomiting and diarrhea.
Experts add that using a bleach-based household cleaner or a combination of bleach and hot water to disinfect any items that asymptomatic Norovirus patient comes in contact with can help reduce the spread of the infection.
