Nutrition in the practice of health running

Wellness is one of the most accessible forms of exercise. When you engage in this type of motor activity, you do not need any preliminary training, you do not need to spend on a subscription fee for visiting specialized sports facilities or fitness clubs, there is no need to buy expensive simulators and other sports equipment. But still, to achieve a health effect and get rid of excess weight when you run only the desire and the availability of free time for training is not enough. The fact is that at least 50% of the success in running a well-run race is played by properly organized food.

If you decide to seriously run the race, then when drawing up your diet, you should first of all consider the increase in the energy costs of the body during physical exertion. Depending on how long your jogs get and with what average speed you run, your body should receive about 3500 - 4500 kcal per day. If, on the other hand, you are aiming not only to keep yourself toned, but also to get rid of excess weight, then the caloric value obtained over a day of nutrition should be slightly reduced. An approximate list of products for cooking with regard to caloric content can be selected on the basis of the use of special tables in books on nutrition.

The intake of food in the course of running should be divided 4-5 times a day. For the full assimilation of food products and to avoid the appearance of discomfort during running it is advisable to begin training not earlier than 1-1.5 hours after eating. After exercise is complete, you also need to wait some time before eating - about an hour or at least half an hour.

Nutrition when practicing fitness run should also provide the body's need for protein. Thus, for women with such physical exertion, the optimal amount of proteins in a daily diet is approximately 100 - 130 g. Proteins are needed to maintain normal muscle tissue functioning and its growth. A large number of these important components of nutrition are found in meat, fish, milk and dairy products, eggs, peas, beans.

But the main sources of energy in the running run are fats and carbohydrates. Many carbohydrates are found in various grades of bread, in cereals, confectionery and flour products. Fats in our diet are due to oil, fatty fish and meat. If you need a health run more to lose weight, you should reduce the calorie intake by limiting the amount of carbohydrates and fats in your food, but in no case should you limit the use of protein products. By reducing the amount of carbohydrates and fats eaten, thus, when doing health-improving running, you force your body to expend deferred fat reserves for obtaining the missing energy, which probably badly spoil your figure. Due to this, the body is slim and slender.

Another important feature that must be taken into account when organizing a full-fledged diet when running, is the increasing need of the body for mineral substances and vitamins. To solve this problem, it is best to use vitamin-mineral complexes. In any pharmacy now you can find a wide variety of such drugs. In addition, after running a wellness run you will probably want to quench your thirst - use mineral water or fruit juices (the mineral water is rich in cations and anions necessary for the body, and the juice is vitamins).

Remember that if you try to organize a diet in accordance with the above recommendations, then in a couple of months your figure will become much more slender, and the extra kilograms will slowly disappear.
