Nutrition For Runners – Should I Reduce Or Eliminate Gluten?

Alicia Shay, nutrition consultant for Run SMART, speaks in this short video on why athletes are experimenting with gluten-free diets. She explains that the typical diet (already gluten heavy) focuses too much on one nutrient gotten from the gluten source and that for better health benefits we should include a greater variety of grains and foods in general. She also explains that the low acidity of low-gluten diets is better for recovery after exercise.
