Running and running shoes

Running is one of the primary exercises that people indulge in. Running gives the whole body thorough exercise and is very healthy. Running has two main advantages - it makes your lungs and heart function better, and it makes you sweat. Both of these are important in today's world where fitness has no replacement.

Running needs proper running shoes. The ankle is a complex body part and must not be compromised with. Ankle injuries do not heal fast and sometimes leave imprints for life. It is thus important to get hold of good running shoes, even if they're a little expensive. Running shoes must support the ankle as well as the heel. When buying running shoes, one must try them on for perfect size and fit.

The Healthy diet after a workout

The food that you eat after an exercise or fitness regime is important. The intake of the essential ingredients in your diet after workouts benefits your health.

Studies show that having a low carbohydrate meal after exercises enhances insulin sensitivity making it easier for the body to take up sugar from the bloodstream and store it in muscles where it can be used for fuel. Eating a meal after a workout definitely enhances the insulin, however the level to which it enhances faster depends on the amount of carbohydrates in the diet. Hence a perfectly balanced diet with the perfect fitness regime is sure to keep you healthy.
