PERFECT PAIRS
FOOD COMBINING COULD BE THE SECRET TO ACHIEVING YOUR RUNNING PEAK, SAYS NUTRITIONIST LOUISE PYNE
FOOD PAIRS
Fitness and nutrition go hand in hand. But if you switch your diet up a notch then you could reap some pretty awesome workout rewards. Combining certain foods can boost results by providing your body with the nutrients it needs to protect, recover and strengthen from exercise. This is because, when paired together, these foods have double the power, which gives you more bang for your nutritional buck. We’ve put together our essential matches, to help you get the most out of every workout.
SALMON + BROCCOLI = BONE PROTECTING
While the weight-bearing nature of running helps to strengthen bones, it’s also a cause of impact and overuse injuries such as stress fractures.
