Reducing Fatty Foods in Your Diet

By Rey Vetangelo


As a society, Americans have a definite problem with health and wellness. Put simply, it is a dwindling priority that is marked by society wide issues regarding obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.

This is especially true if you are exerting yourself for a run. A marathon definitely qualifies as one of those "exertion" runs. There is a stigma amongst runners that no matter how much you prepare, there is a wall after mile 20. Getting to mile 20 can be a challenge, but passing it becomes increasingly difficult by the step.

Runners lose energy, motivation and heart after they hit this wall. Legs refuse to lift. Muscles refuse to stretch. The idea of moving one more step is hard enough to endure, let alone finish out the several thousand more it will take you to get to the finish line.

The final six miles comes down to a game of determination as opposed to stamina. Or does it? If it does, you could seriously injure yourself, forcing you into electrosurgical procedures to fix everything you did to yourself. Your mind is stronger than the body it is true.

You can force your body to do just about anything if you set your mind to it. Pain exists for a reason though, and you should only allow yourself to reach a certain threshold before you start taking action.

Therefore, should you try to cross the next six miles without proper preparation; you could end up on the table undergoing electrosurgical procedures. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to avoid this situation. And that includes eating the right foods.

What may not seem like a big deal in the moment regarding dietary choices can come back to haunt people as they develop medical issues. Negative effects from our diets tend to stack up over time and lead to more significant issues down the road.

Fortunately, there are more ways that you can get your needed amount of nutrients without eating a full course meal. GU has taken off in the running world. Pop these babies in about once every six miles and you will have energy to spare for the next six.

They are small and easy to use. Little candies are also nice to snack on. Things like gummy bears can give you amazing boosts if you conserve them throughout the race. Watch out because they might get a bit sticky. If you don't like gummy bears, find another sugar substance that can give you almost instant energy throughout the twenty-six mile bucket item you've been waiting your whole life to do.

Also consider taking a small energy bar or two with you. These tend to be a bit denser, but they pack an incredible amount of punch over a longer time period. Nibble on one for several miles, or eat one whole in one. They will help keep your body strong and your muscles working.

It's when your muscles slowdown that you risk injury and electrosurgical procedures. Your form depletes and some muscles stop working with other muscles, increasing your chance of injury. The greater the chance of injury equates to a greater the chance of electrosurgical procedures.
