How should your diet change when injured?

Do you eat less to offset training less? Do you eat more to give your body extra nutrients to aid in the recovery process? What about antiinflammatory foods - do they help or hinder? And are there any supplements that can help?\xa0

In today\u2019s episode, we\u2019re bringing you a never published episode we recorded with the late professor Kevin Tipton.\xa0

Kevin was a Senior Lecturer in Exercise Metabolism in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at The University of Birmingham and an Assistant Professor, Department of Surgery, at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.\xa0

Sadly, Kevin passed away last year but we still wanted to share this episode with you since it\u2019s so helpful and packed with valuable information all runners can use when they are injured.

Kevin\u2019s passion for his work, his dedication to science and research, and most importantly his compassion and caring for others shines through in this interview.\xa0

We hope that you enjoy and walk away with some actionable advice so that food can be an asset and a source of pleasure\u2014rather than a source of stress\u2014during an already trying time.
