7 tips for safe and healthy running [slideshow]
1. Foods to eat before you run
Eating something prior to exercise helps exercisers perceive workouts as more comfortable. Exercisers tend to stick with it longer or go harder, or both when they feel good. You’re going to enjoy it more and be most likely to repeat it regularly. And if you plan to stick with it for more than 30 minutes at a time, it’s important to fuel up your body to avoid stomach cramps, dizziness and headaches.
About 15 to 30 minutes before your run, eat a small serving of easily digestible carbohydrates like half a banana, some applesauce, or my favorite — raisins.
Avoid large servings of protein and carbs or high-saturated fat and high-fiber foods like pasta or fried foods.
