Dates – Tropical energizer

This delicious tropical fruit is easily digestible, which makes it ideal when runners need a quick energy and nutrient boost. It is rich in fiber, tannis, vitamin A, antioxidant flavornoids, iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper and manganese. It is an all around healthy food that is both excellent for runners and anyone that desires a healthier diet.

Almonds – Powerful little nuts

Almonds have long been a favorite snack of runners and are included in almost every list of great foods for runners. These little nuts are tasty and packed with vitamin E, magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, proteins, healthy fats and more, and all these nutrients combined to minimized muscle damage, strengthen your bones, and provide energy for a great work out.

Pumpkin seeds – The Mg powerhouse

For runners low on energy, pumpkin seeds are the perfect energizer. They are densely packed with magnesium, which is critical in energy production. For runners, especially those that sweat a lot, magnesium is must. Pumpkin seeds also provide leucine, an amino acid that enables fat oxidation and endurance, making it a great treat as we ramp up mileages.

Oats – Fuel for the long haul

Besides a wide range of vitamin and minerals such as manganese, magnesium, chromium, Vitamin B1, zinc etc. oats are known for their low GI (glycemic index), which means the carbohydrate absorbs into your system in a slower rate, providing constant energy for the long runs. Oats also contain loads of soluble and insoluble fiber, which are necessary for digestive health. It helps you get “regular” and feel lighter!

Dried cranberries – The berry best source of vitamin C

Rich in vitamin C, cranberries are without doubt excellent for before, during and after runs. They are also rich in fiber, vitamin K and manganese and super delicious. We are often on the trails for hours, so something tasty and nutrient packed is a must.
