Run to prevent obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, some cancers
In order for a runner to complete the run while keeping healthy, one must take in 300 to 400 calories per hour with at least 350 to 300 ml water, as shared by group secretary Dr Rajneesh Kutumbale. Overall, runners participating in the 12-hour run must take in 5,000 to 6,000 calories to meet their body’s requirement.
Poha, Idli Sambhar, Sandwiches and Gud would be some healthy choices offered to runners to meet the calorie requirements. “It is not necessary to run for 12 hours, just every person should workout for 140 minutes to beat various health issues that arise due to sedentary lifestyle,” Kutumbale said.
He added that studies have shown that running can help prevent obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, some cancers, and a host of other unpleasant conditions. “What's more, scientists have shown that running also vastly improves the quality of your emotional and mental life,” Kutumbale said.
