Professional Athletes Increasingly Choose Vegan Diets

Reuters (6/10, Internicola) reports on a growing trend among bodybuilders and professional athletes to adopt plant-based diets.

The piece names several vegan sports professionals including Prince Fielder, a first baseman for the Detroit Tigers of Major League Baseball; former World No. 1 tennis player, Venus Williams; and two-time Olympics skier Seba Johnson, among others.

Reuters also notes that health and fitness experts say individuals who choose vegan diets tend to have more physical stamina and experience better sleep quality than do people whose diets include animal-derived foods.
