NUTRITION & EXERCISE FOR RUNNERS- SHILPA RAGHUNANDAN
In our daily life, we indulge in many activities which requires immense energy. This energy comes from the food we consume. Being on a diet might help us lose weight, but without exercise we lose our muscles and bone density too. The least we can do is give an hour of exercise for 4 to 5 days a week. This…
