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

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.
Enhanced performance and recovery: Vegan athletes have reported experiencing increased energy levels, faster recovery times between training sessions, and improved endurance and aerobic capacity
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.
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.
Higher antioxidant intake: Vegan diets are typically high in antioxidants, which can help neutralize free radicals and reduce muscle fatigue.
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.

:vegan-liberation:

Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

Rules

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
Questions about diet belong in c/food. It's also a great place to share recipes.
In all sections of the site, you must follow the Hexbear.net Code of Conduct.
