Is protein the most important part of your diet when it comes to boosting your immune health through the winter?
No runner wants to sacrifice training due to illness, but is the intake of amino acids (protein) fundamental in keeping you fit and healthy and free of bugs, or are there other nutritional options to keep you in tip-top shape?

The winter is a key training time for running, often in preparation for spring marathons, half marathons and other distances. However, upper respiratory tract infections and immune-related problems are a runner’s curse, often pushing back training for many weeks. Prevention is always better than cure so wrapping up your immune system with the right nutrition is the key to an illness-free winter.
