June 5th is Global Running Day — at Orleans Family Health Clinic, we celebrate movement, motivation, and the joy of running. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, this day is a reminder that every step brings you closer to better health.

Running helps:

• Strengthen your heart and muscles
• Boost endorphins and improve mood
• Reduce stress — a known migraine trigger
• Improve sleep quality

As we mark Migraine Awareness Month, it’s worth noting that regular aerobic activity like running can help prevent migraines for many individuals. Just be sure to stay hydrated, warm up, and listen to your body — especially if you’re prone to exertion-triggered headaches.
Canada’s scenic parks and trails make it easy to lace up and get moving. So grab your runners and hit the path — your body and brain will thank you.
