While participating in the 100K cross-country race, I deeply realized the importance of functional medicine, nutrition and diet
In addition to physical, technical and psychological preparation, diet and nutritional supplements during the competition are even more crucial.
Before the competition, my ligament injury was not detected, and my body's recovery speed was not proportional to my fatigue level. Even though I made a lot of adjustments in my training volume and daily routine, I could still feel the warning signals from my body. Fortunately, I came into contact with @younger_healthcare 
.
Through blood tests and the consultant's analysis, I found that my special training program still lacked many nutrients, such as selenium, iron, Q10 and D3. These different test items allowed me to have a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of psychology on physiological values. One and a half months before the competition, I adjusted my diet and supplemented the nutrients I lacked according to the test results. I clearly felt that my body's recovery was gradually improving, my brain became clearer, and my body became leaner.
Is this the restoration of vitality?
The nutritional supplements for this race were provided by " YOUNGER customized nutrients", starting from 3 days before the race, and supplementing different nutrients every 4 hours during the race, and continuing to the 4-day recovery period after the race. I thought I would be like a medicine jar, but even with insufficient training, because of proper supplementation, the muscles can continue to produce energy even when they are close to the critical point. After the 17-hour long march, my mental state is still good, which is very important for long-distance events to maintain a clear mental state.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle
Through functional medicine, we can have more and more comprehensive ways to improve our sports performance and even prevent the occurrence of some diseases. It is not only a solution to a certain problem, but also fundamentally improves our health and overall quality of life.
Endurance races really require a lot of food and a lot of preparation.
