Top 8 Wonder Foods

Sorry Sorry sorry, its been so long since I posted, I've been out of town and busy but there is no excuse! :)

Recently I received an email from Active.com naming the 8 wonder foods for Women, but after reading them, I think that they apply for men as well... "Here at the Runners Diet we don't discriminate based on gender" (She's the Man:))

So these are the 8 wonder foods for ALL runners both men and women:

The Energizer: Beef
Secret Weapon: Iron

The Joint Enforcer: Pomegranate
Secret Weapon: Antioxidants

The Injury Thwarter: Almonds
Secret Weapon: Healthy Fat

The Flab Buster: Lentils
Secret Weapon: Fiber

The Bone Builder: Salmon
Secret Weapon: calcium and vitamin D

The Immune Booster: Kale
Secret Weapon: Vitamin A and C

The Cold Fighter: Low-Fat Yogurt
Secret Weapon: Friendly Bacteria

The Restorer: Quinoa
Secret Weapon: Carbs and Protein
Try this: Apple Cider Quinoa

In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of apple juice or apple cider, 1 cup quinoa and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until all the liquid has absorbed, about 10-15 minutes. Serve as a sidekick to fish, poultry or grass-fed beef as part of a post-workout meal.
