Since I was feeling so much better in my body, I found I had more energy and motivation to work out after I went vegan. "A plant-based diet supports recovery by providing a deluge of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories that are unique to whole-plant foods, enabling the body to repair healthfully," Julieanna Hever, aka the Plant-Based Dietitian, told POPSUGAR.
I definitely work out more and harder than ever before, and I rarely need time to recover. In fact, I have to make myself take rest days. That's how much more energy I have. It's no wonder more and more athletes are going vegan.
