the more you run, the more oxidation occurs.
oxidation damages tissues - short-term in the form of muscle soreness,
and long-term it can contribute to the development of heart disease and cancer.
since strenuous exercise encourages the oxidation process,
it is vitally important for runners to ensure they have adequate anti-oxidants
in their diet says stephen faulkner, m.d. an expert in orthomolecular medicine
(nutritional healing) in duncan, british columbia.
i am pretty shocked to read the part i have highlighted.
anyway in summary this article from rw is to encourage runners to include
anti-oxidants usually fruits, vegetables and herbs in their daily diet.
mentioned herbs :-
oregano, sweet marjoram, bay, dill, thyme, rosemary and sage.
