Should You Eat Differently When You’re Injured?

Nikki — Tue, 24 May 2022 20:00:59 +0000

Fitness injuries are very common and can affect anyone at any age. “For example, a recent scientific review by Danish researchers reported that the typical recreational runner suffers 7.7 injuries per 1,000 hours of running. That works out to about one injury per year for a runner who logs three hours a week.” With these kinds of statistics, athletes and those who exercise regularly are bound to end up with an injury or two. So, the first thought is how long is my recovery and the second will I gain weight while being inactive? Both are valid questions and can depend on the type of injury whether it’s complete inactivity or just modified activity. Injury doesn’t equal weight gain but your meal plan may need to be modified slightly. The following article explains how to adjust your diet if you’re injured to prevent injury-related weight gain.

Vitamin C has a lot of benefits especially when you are feeling under the weather and your body is just drained. Besides taking a vitamin C supplement, there are other ways to get the daily intake which is 90 mg/day for men and 75mg/day for women. Citrus fruits are one of the most prevalent ways to get your daily dose of vitamin C through food, but there are actually a lot of other foods that are also rich in vitamin C that aren’t oranges.

Adding More Fiber to Your Diet

Nikki — Wed, 30 Mar 2022 15:00:52 +0000

I’m always looking to add some more fiber to my diet, especially since it’s recommended that women get 22 to 28 grams of fiber per day. To put that into perspective, one banana has 3 grams of fiber so you would have to eat 7-9 bananas in one day to get the recommended fiber. So if you are falling short of fiber intake and would like to add more to your diet, the following link contains 12 high fiber recipes to add to any meal plan.
