Key Takeaways:
- We talk about 4 key nutrients here, but remember there are many nutrients involved, in some capacity, in the production of energy.
- These 4 nutrients (iron, copper, Mg and B-vits) tend to have multiple roles within the Krebs cycle (energy production), especially Mg and the B-vits
- Remember poor energy production could impact on your everyday health AND your running performance
- Poor energy could result in poor recovery from training as well as an increased risk of injury and illness
- To help prevent insufficiency of any of these key nutrients it is important to eat the foods that contain them FREQUENTLY and keep it CONSISTENT
- Some foods contain ALL of the key nutrients, which helps keep it simple and easy when preparing meals/snacks e.g. legumes and nuts and seeds.
