Lately, I have been getting alot of questions on “what are the best foods,” “are there really super foods?” “What foods should I eat for endurance?!”
So, let’s explore what many call “endurance foods,” also called “super foods.” Actually, these foods we will be exploring, and the info about them, come straight from one of my favorite books “Super Foods” by Steven Pratt and Kathy Matthews. There are 14 foods listed plus their “side kicks.” These foods are simple, whole foods, that are easily attainable and affordable.
The 14 foods are: beans, blueberries, broccoli, oats, oranges, pumpkin, salmon, soy, spinach, tea, tomatoes, turkey, walnuts and yogurt.
I like to call them “endurance foods,” as being an athlete, I have noticed quite an improvement in my endurance as I train for triathlons.
How about you? Do you need more endurance for sports, work, play, (sometimes) just making it through the day? Try these super endurance foods. Let us know what you think!
Stay tuned, as each few days we will be posting a new food with its nutrients, suggested servings, health benefits, and a recipe!
