...and now, knee pain...

Humm I wonder if I should start a new thread or post here? Anyway, I have a close friend who is a runner and has recently had one minor injury after another... icing it and advil has worked. The other day we were having lunch and I was surprised to see her order something relatively high in fat to what she usually orders... her diet is very low fat (below 20%). I comment on it and she said she had just read an article in one of her running magazines (I think) that folks who eat a very low fat diet suffer more injuries than those with a higher fat diet. So, something else to think about in relation to injuries--technique, strengthening, rest, treatement and DIET. Lainey Lainey perfectly acceptable post in this thread...can be re-linked to others too if need be. I think that fat is important. Working out to break it down into other little imoprtant nutritional components is important too. I guess moderation in everything is the lesson.
