4 Best Foods For Runners
If you are a runner, you want to keep full, but not pack on the pounds. Keep it all healthy as you run the miles. Here are four great foods specifically for runners, but all of us can enjoy them.
Almonds are high in the antioxidant vitamin E and help prevent achy muscles. Their protein and fiber keeps your stomach happy on runs.
Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C, a nutrient that helps muscles heal. It also helps you absorb more iron, which helps prevent fatigue and low energy.
Sweet potatoes are high in energy-supplying carbs and beta carotene, but the big bonus here is that they are high in minerals like potassium and magnesium, which runners lose through sweating.
Tuna. Only 4 ounces can supply around half your daily protein requirement.
So run to the market. Then keep on running.
