After running one of the best snacks to eat is a banana. This simple food has at least four different benefits to keep your muscles running and replenish your stores. This on the go food will keep you healthy and happy as an after run snack.
The first thing you want after running is energy. Carbohydrates are a good source of energy and a banana can help restore you carbohydrate balance when eaten shortly after a run. This is because carbohydrates convert directly muscle fuel also known as glycogen.
Bananas have a huge amount of magnesium. This is important because magnesium is more important than calcium to keep your bones in good health. When you run you are putting lots of stress on your bones. Eating banana after your run can keep you in better health and keep your bones from breaking or weakening under stress.
The most commonly listed benefit of bananas is their ability to supply the body with potassium. Potassium is important for you for a lot of reasons and actually can make the entire process of running easier. One banana provides at least ten percent of the potassium you need in an active diet.
Preventing muscle cramps and keeping you hydrated are two of the important functions of potassium. It can also help regulate your nerves and keep you responsive. This makes potassium on of the most important components in a runners diet.
Finally vitamin B6 is found in abundance in bananas. This means that they keep your immune system strong and give you more natural energy. For better runs and a better running body this little vitamin is a major player.
When choosing your snacks after your next run consider this yellow fruit. Easy to grab on the go and chock full of benefits this smart choice could keep you running longer and smarter.
