Sky News - Morning Stories - run for your health

What would you do if i told there was a pill guaranteed to make you smarter, that could slow or even prevent Alzheimer’s, that could settle symptoms of depression, that was proven to be effective in the prevention of some cancers, that effectively tackled heart disease, that could reverse or prevent the onset of type-2 diabetes. Even better, it would enhance self esteem, make you feel more attractive, well, to anyone that you may want to attract. And, what if I told you that pill could make you more empathetic, would make you care more for your local environment; that you would be calmer, better at your job and increase your self sufficiency. What price would you pay for that pill? A month's salary, a year's?

These are all things that I've discovered in my research into one of the simplest and most natural activities that is free to all of us. Some think it strange, most misunderstand it, but to the initiated who know how to do it slowly enough to enjoy it, it is absolutely magical. Running can give you all of these things. And it won't cost you anything.
