In It To Win It: Foods To Reach The Finish Line 

By Jasmine Kaur

If you’re an athlete, marathon runner or simply a fitness enthusiast, you should include these foods in your diet to enhance performance and speed up recovery. 

Whole Grains

Running on tracks for long hours requires a lot of energy and that can be obtained by consuming whole grains and cereals regularly. These carbs help you to stay active. 

Skimmed Milk 

To replenish the lost energy and regain the muscle tissues after a strenuous workout, one needs a good dose of protein that can be provided by skimmed or non-fat yoghurt. 

Almonds 

Not just for strengthening brain cells, almonds are good for recovering the muscle damage caused by excessive running too. Add them to your breakfast cereal or eat as it is. 

Eggs 

Need some protein in your diet? Start by eating eggs every day. They also contain healthy fats and iron along with several other nutrients.

Kale 

Low in calories and rich in potassium, kale is a super food that comes in the form of a green, leafy vegetable. Packed with iron, it is great for bone strength.
