Hi guys! I just wanted to introduce you to my new blog, and explain my idea for its theme. I have been reading the book Eat and Run by Scott Jurek, where he describes how he races (he runs ultra marathons) and how he uses his nutrition to optimize his performance. Since this book has been quite interesting, and inspiring, I thought I would write a bit about my take on a healthy, active lifestyle.
I believe that exercise is a helpful tool for relieving stress, increasing the “happy chemicals” in the brain, and maintaining a balanced life. My exercise of focus is running. For instance, I just joined the cross country team, which I really enjoy, and I’ve been on the track and field team since 8th grade.
While exercise is extremely important, good nutrition is also vital. In my coming blog posts I hope to dive deeper into the science behind running (its stress relieving properties and how this works on a cellular level) and how proper nutrition can optimize these effects.
