1 Why is what we eat important?
You wouldn’t fill your car with pond water and expect it to function well, and the same applies to our bodies. What you put into your body is what it runs on, so in order to keep it running at its best and to avoid illness, it’s vital that we fuel it with a balanced diet. This means ensuring it has the right amount of everything it needs to function properly, and avoiding too much of the things that stop it from functioning well. If we do this, our bodies are likely to be healthier, and in turn we’ll be better able to enjoy not only running but all parts of our lives.
