Strawberries - The Runners Food!

The red color of strawberries comes from antioxidant compounds called anthocyanins, which are also found in other red and blue fruits. They help to reduce inflammation and counteract muscle damage from exercise. One cup of strawberries contains just 49 calories and nearly 150 percent of your daily value for vitamin C - more than an orange!
So if they are not now a part of your diet, consider keeping them on hand for post workout intake.
