You can eat all the “healthy” foods you want—but if your digestion is struggling to break them down, you may not feel your best.
For runners, digestion matters. Bloating, gas, sluggishness, constipation, or feeling overly full can make training feel harder than it needs to.
One simple way to support digestion? Make your veggies easier to break down.
Try these 3 simple recovery rituals:
1. Cook them.
Cooking softens the plant structure and makes vegetables easier to chew and break down.
2. Dress them.
Add digestive spices like ginger, cumin, coriander, or fennel, along with a little lime juice.
3. Chew them completely.
Digestion starts in your mouth. Take your time and soften those veggies before swallowing.
Think warm, cooked, well-seasoned, and properly chewed.
Healthy food doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, it’s about making it easier for your body to receive the nourishment you’re giving it.
Save this for your next meal prep. 🫶
