My husband is a 30-year vegetarian who transitioned to a vegan diet as he prepared for a series of endurance trail races. Now in his 50’s, he’s never been in better shape.
Talking to him about the reason for the change, he cited several elite athletes in the NFL, NBA as well as leading endurance athletes who had made the change and were seeing strong performance results. The conversation started with Tom Brady but quickly evolved into a “did you also know” discussion of the growing number of elite vegan athletes.
