🫐🍓🍇
Eating the rainbow supports recovery in many ways, especially after endurance training or races.

Recovery isn’t just about protein, replenishing vitamins, micronutrients, and phytonutrients from whole foods supports your body after hard training or a race. Eating a colorful variety helps provide a broad spectrum of polyphenols, natural plant compounds that research suggests can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation after exercise and support overall recovery.

Polyphenols are found in richly pigmented fruits (like berries and grapes) and act as bioactive compounds that interact with the body’s stress and repair systems following physical exertion.¹

🍓 Strawberries & kiwi → vitamin C + antioxidants
🫐 Blackberries → polyphenol rich + fiber
🍇 Grapes → hydration + phytonutrients

After a race or hard training week, which colorful fruit do you reach for first?

How do whole foods support recovery after endurance exercises, such as running ?

Post-exercise nutrition is often discussed in terms of individual nutrients, but scholarly research supports a food first approach that emphasizes overall meal composition. Carbohydrate-rich foods help replenish glycogen stores following prolonged exercise, while vegetables contribute essential vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that support overall recovery and health.¹,²

Building recovery meals around whole foods—such as starchy vegetables, colorful produce, and herbs can support nutrient adequacy while promoting sustainable, evidence-based eating patterns for physically active individuals.¹,²

What whole food combinations do you think work well for recovery meals after a long run or race?

Blueberries & Cherries – Exercise Recovery
🫐🍒🫐

Blueberries and cherries contain natural plant compounds that help the body recover from physical stress, including exercise. Scholarly, peer-reviewed research shows that blueberries may support exercise recovery by helping reduce inflammation and oxidative stress that occur after physical activity.¹,²

Cherries, particularly those rich in polyphenol, have also been studied for their potential role in supporting muscle recovery and reducing post-exercise soreness and inflammation.³

This week, post the half marathon, I’ve been intentionally including both blueberries and cherries as part of my recovery-focused nutrition, guided by the scientific research.

Hi, I’m Dr. Rhonda Trust 👋🏽

I’m faculty in the School of Communication at , hold a PhD in Health Communication, and am currently completing an MS in Nutrition & Dietetics on the path to becoming a Registered Dietitian.

I teach health communication and behavior-focused courses, including UM’s first-ever Nutrition & Communication class and my work centers on prevention, nutrition, and culturally responsive health messaging.

Beyond the classroom, I partner with Miami based nonprofit organizations, including to deliver community nutrition education and translate research into accessible, real world practice 🌎 .

I also hold a Health & Wellness / Healthy Living Certificate from Cornell University and have completed my 6th half marathon, reflecting my commitment to living the principles I teach.

Here, I share evidence-based insights on nutrition, health communication, healthy meals for busy people on the go, and movement as part of everyday life.

I’m also available for speaking engagements, workshops, and community events.

Welcome, and glad you’re here! 🧡💚🧡

YELLOW Watermelon???

It wasn’t until I came home and cut my watermelon that I realized it wasn’t red! I actually thought it wasn’t ripe. Thanks to google I learned that there is such a thing as a yellow watermelon! (I didn’t notice the sticker when I purchased it at my local Sprouts).

It actually has many nutritional benefits:
-vitamins A & C
-beta-carotene
-citrulline
-super hydrating

The yellow watermelon was actually DELICIOUS! Heartier and a bit less sweet than it’s red counterpart, it was perfect for my summer salad!
-yellow watermelon
-red watermelon
-feta cheese
-cucumbers
-arugula
-spinach
-blackberries

Message me for more summer salad recipes!

☀️ Summer Solstice 2024 has arrived! ☀️
Here in Florida it’s always summer but in many parts of the country today is the kickoff of the first day of summer.

One of the reasons I’m committed to working out year round is because everyday is a potential beach day here in sunny Florida. However, the years I lived up north, I was also committed to eating healthy and working out 12 months a year. So remember if you’re starting a summer workout routine now, try to maintain it even when sweater season kicks in.
If you’re committed to light and healthy eating during the summer try to maintain it once the holidays around.
Also try to follow the 80/20 rule with working out and eating healthy. It’s OK to give yourself a break 20% of the time but establishing a routine and consistency is optimal for long term results.

Message me if you’re interested in working on redefining your food choices, for all 4 seasons!

Happy Summer!☀️
