The December seasonal Fruits and Vegetables table will give you details on what to include in your diet this month. It is the festive month, and we are all attending many social celebrations, meals. The good diet will be challenged.
The diet is very important for all runners and athletes. The body need good nutrients to work / perform well. By eating vegetables and fruits from the season ensure we get best quality calories.
Vitamin D:
In the northern hemisphere, winter and December mean that the days are short and we have not enough Vitamin D. It is important to keep our Vitamin D level high.
You can drink Supermilk, and 250ml per day are enough. As well you can include these ingredients in your receipes:
– oily fish – such as salmon, sardines, herring and mackerel.
– red meat / liver
– egg yolks
– fortified foods – such as some fat spreads and breakfast cereals.
Superfood soup:
I love the “Superfood Soup” for the winter. I add brown rice to it, for a great diner after the Tuesday track sessions. It is filled with vitamins in the fresh vegetables and spices. It will help the the body to be strong during the cold winter runs.
