I’m well aware that running is hard on my body – it seems to constantly leave me with some form of ache or pain. I decided that a good thing to try might be eating more toward the anti-inflammatory end of the spectrum. According to Harvard Health, some of these foods include:
- tomatoes
- olive oil
- leafy green vegetables
- nuts
- fatty fishes
- berries
The more inflammatory foods, according to the same site, include:
- refined carbs (white flour)
- fried foods like french fries
- soda
- red meat
- margarine/shortening
I have no idea if trying to eat more in the first category will help with my training soreness, but I like a lot of those foods anyway, so I’m going to try it – do any of you have experience eating to avoid inflammation?
