It means that diet has a huge impact on heart health.
I'd say the heart is quite important for running.
But possible heart problems start mainly only after age 40 and the risks become higher only after age 50. Many people just don't care about old age.

Diet is key. You are what you eat. A varied plant-based diet with a bit of animal protein works pretty good.
Too much aniimal fat is a literal prescription for heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, and so on down the line. Watch the sugar too.
Ever read what Bill Rodgers and Shorter would eat when they were at the top?
Diet was not a concern and they were better than all the hand-wringing vegan millennial s of today.

Why? There are also different colored vegs.
Well, not necessarily every meal, but people eating the most spinach for example has been linked with a 40% reduction in instances of cataracts.

True. But, the greens are the most important.

This happens if your information comes from the mainstream media through journalists and not actual scientists. xD
I would say diet is important in terms of keeping your weight down and also fueling your running.
Just don't eat too much junk. drink water, eat meat and veggies, no grains, some nuts, no sugars including high GI fruit, grass-fed butter
Limit carbs.
You are the age when insulin-sensitivity is your greatest concern. LCHF
Runners should not fear carbs.

My diet is 80% carbs and I've lost 21 pounds in 3 and a bit months, and am below 10% bodyfat.
You should also don't forget that you need not only to avoid certain products but also follow a well-balanced diet. You should replace some products with others but not just eliminate them. I mean that you should watch that you get all the necessary vitamins and minerals from your food. You can also add some supplements to your diet if you can't get everything from your food.
I'm actually searching for good supplements for runners. Maybe someone has smth to suggest. I've found some on

but I'm not sure what is better for a runner. Has anyone a good suggestion?
