So many runners fall into the trap of 'if the fire is hot enough, anything will burn.'
Alicia Tembi is not someone a doctor would be concerned about when she sat down on the exam table. The 36-year-old runs most days a week, is lean and strong, has a healthy weight and takes care of her health.
“I indulge in lots of treats, which I always thought was fine because I exercise a lot,” Tembi says. “I almost always eat something for dessert, like chocolate, a cookie, maybe an entire bar of chocolate depending on the day.” Another problem for runners in particular: Those gels, drinks and bars are all usually packed with sugar, she says.
recommend that added sugars make up no more than 10 percent of daily calories. For a 2,000-calorie diet, that means no more than 200 calories a day should come from added sugars. That’s about 12 teaspoons or 48 grams of sugar, or basically a two-cup serving of vanilla ice cream. Also, because runners are generally a healthy population, Reusch says they may not be screened as often for conditions.“Because of their weight and physical activity, people aren’t thinking they have a problem,” she says.

But according to a new study published in the Lancet, the risk of developing breast cancer for those on HRT is twice as high as researchers previously thought, with the likelihood being as high as one in 50 that someone who is on the most common form of HRT for five years will develop breast cancer. The study also found that in some cases, the higher risk continues for much longer after HRT has ended than researchers once assumed.
