Endurance foods
It is August 1!!! Where is the summer going???
In August, we are going to be exploring “endurance foods,” also called “super foods.” Actually, these foods, and the info 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, pumkin, salmon, soy, spinach, tea, tomatoes, turkey, walnuts and yogurt.
I like to call them “endurance foods”, as I am an athlete and have noticed quite an improvement in my endurance as I train for a marathon.
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!
