Can spices benefit my training?
Spicing up your plate is a healthy habit to liven up your daily diet. Each spice is unique in its health benefits and adding a pinch here and there will make dishes tastier and more nutritious. When it comes to getting started, cayenne pepper is a great spice to sprinkle into dishes. It contains a superingredient called capsaicin (it’s what gives cayenne pepper its fiery heat), which helps to increase energy expenditure and circulation. Some studies show cayenne pepper can also provide pain relief which means it’s a good spice to turn to if you get injured. Sprinkling ginger into smoothies, porridge and curries is also another great way to include more spice in food. Ginger is anti-inflammatory and thought to increase the production of mitochondria (energy in cells) which could give your training boost – and furthermore ginger helps to stave off nausea, which can be a symptom of overtraining. Finally, golden turmeric is another anti-inflammatory spice useful for runners as it’s thought to help combat muscle damage and keep joints healthy. You could add it to soups, stews and curries or even enjoy a turmeric latte.
