]]>If you have shin splints, it’s recommended to rest for at least 2 weeks or until the pain subsides before resuming your exercise routine.
Here are a few common causes of shin splints and what you can do to reduce your risk.
Sudden Increase in Activity
Shin splints often occur when you suddenly increase your fitness activity, whether in intensity, duration, or the number of times you train per week. To avoid this, build up your fitness routine slowly, and alternate high-impact exercises like running with low-impact ones such as swimming or cycling.
Wearing Bad Running Shoes
Your running shoes can have a huge impact on the health of your muscles and joints, including causing shin splints. Choose high-quality shoes which offer ample support, and be sure to replace your running shoes every 300 to 500 miles.
Flat Feet
Unfortunately, folks with flat feet have a higher risk of shin splints. To combat this, consider investing in orthotic insoles or arch supports to help support your foot. You can also try foot, leg, and ankle exercises to help strengthen and stabilize the muscles around your shin.

]]>The post Juice Cleanses — Are They Worth It? appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>What is a Juice Cleanse?
The juice referred to in a juice cleanse is usually cold-pressed fruit and vegetable juice with no additives. This kind of juice is bursting with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
The juice cleanse requires you to drink only juice for anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks. It is purported to help with weight loss, resolve digestive issues and provide a detoxing effect after overindulgence.
What are the Benefits?
The benefit of cold-pressed fruit and veggie juice is that it is an easy way to get lots of nutrients in one sitting, without having to spend lots of time preparing fruits and veggies throughout the day. However, you don’t need to only drink juice to get this benefit…
What are the Downsides?
Unfortunately, there are lots of downsides to juice cleanses.
- Juicing removes all dietary fiber which is essential for healthy digestion.
- A juice-cleanse diet will not provide you with adequate calories to meet your energy needs.
- A juice cleanse is very restrictive and could harm your relationship with food.
- There is no evidence to suggest that juice cleanses help your body to flush out toxins.
The Verdict
The best way to have a healthy diet and get all the nutrients you need is to eat plenty of fresh veggies and fruits, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats. Juices can absolutely be a healthy addition to a balanced diet, but they shouldn’t replace food, even for a few days.

]]>The post You Should Be Eating More of These Iron-Rich Foods appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>As many people are reducing their animal product intake for the planet, here are some plant-based iron-rich foods that we should all be eating more of.
Dark Leafy Greens
Dark leafy greens like spinach, Italian kale, chard, and silver beet are a great source of iron as well as fiber and other essential nutrients. Sauté your greens with garlic, lemon, and olive oil for a yummy nutritious side dish.
Whole Grains
Whole grains such as wheat, millet, oats, brown rice, and quinoa all contain iron. In fact, 100 grams of oats contain 4.7 milligrams of iron—that’s more than half of your recommended daily intake!
Dried Fruit & Nuts
Rich in iron, healthy fats, and essential vitamins and minerals, dried fruit and nuts make a fantastic nourishing snack.
Tofu
If you are vegan, vegetarian, or trying to reduce your meat intake, tofu is a great substitute. Tofu is packed with protein and calcium, and firm tofu even contains higher levels of iron than your average serving of red meat.

]]>The post What’s the Deal With Greens Powders? appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>
(@downtoearth_in)What are Greens Powders?
Greens powders are made from concentrated extracts of leafy greens, seaweed, fruits, herbs, nutritional extracts and fruits. Just like protein powders, they can be mixed with smoothies, juices or water to boost the nutrient content.
Greens powders vary by brand but they are usually made with organic, sustainable and vegan ingredients.
What are the Pros & Cons of Greens Powders?
Greens powders may offer many benefits. They can be a great source of iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iodine, selenium and potassium. They are also a quick and easy way to get more nutrients without having to eat a ton of greens, or spend lots of time prepping veggies.
However, greens powders shouldn’t replace actual fresh greens in your diet. Because they are made from dried and processed veggies, greens powders do not contain all the fiber that you get from eating leafy greens. Fiber is essential for healthy digestion.
Greens powders also vary a lot from brand to brand so do your research before choosing which is the right supplement for you!

]]>The post Is Apple Cider Vinegar Really a Health Food? appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>The Good Stuff
ACV is made by fermenting apples. ACV fans will tell you that many of the purported health benefits come from “the mother”—the strands of yeast and bacteria formed during fermentation. And it’s true that ACV is a good source of healthy probiotics and acetic acid, as well as the abundant B vitamins and antioxidants also found in fresh apple juice.
Small-scale studies suggest ACV may help support healthy weight loss, lower blood sugar, and cholesterol.
The Bad Stuff
- Drinking straight ACV can contribute to tooth erosion, esophageal irritation, and acid reflux.
- ACV can’t help you lose weight without other healthy lifestyle changes.
- There is not much scientific evidence for the other health claims surrounding ACV.
- There is little research into the benefits of popular ACV-based supplements such as gummies, and these are not regulated by the FDA.
The Verdict
There is nothing wrong with incorporating ACV into your diet but it is not going to cure all your ailments! Always dilute your ACV with plenty of water and rinse your mouth with water after drinking. It’s also a good idea to simply use ACV in salad dressings, marinades, and pickling brines!
