Vegan athletes have mentioned several key benefits of following a plant-based diet:

  1. Improved heart health: Vegan diet can help reverse plaque buildup, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and reduce inflammation, all of which are beneficial for an athlete’s cardiovascular health.

  2. Enhanced performance and recovery: Vegan athletes have reported experiencing increased energy levels, faster recovery times between training sessions, and improved endurance and aerobic capacity

  3. Anti-inflammatory effects: The plant-based nature of a vegan diet may have an anti-inflammatory effect, which can help reduce pain and improve athletic performance and recovery.

  4. Better blood flow and oxygen delivery: Vegan diets have been shown to improve blood viscosity and arterial flexibility, leading to better blood flow and oxygen delivery to the muscles.

  5. Higher antioxidant intake: Vegan diets are typically high in antioxidants, which can help neutralize free radicals and reduce muscle fatigue.

  6. Reduced body fat: The low-fat, high-fiber nature of a vegan diet can help athletes reduce their body fat, which is associated with increased aerobic capacity and endurance.
