Eating veges and fruits a lot is good for our health. We have fruitarian and vegetarian. But you need to know how to eat meat, just in case your going to a meeting and need to get dinner.

If you just fast on fruits and vegetables, you will not be able to run even half meter. Take bananas, milk regularly also drink water a lot it will keep you hydrated which will help in better sweat flow.
