The Vegan Athlete

Using the latest research in sports nutrition, this handbook helps athletes maximize their performance, expedite recovery, and optimize their health through balanced, plant-based eating. The Vegan Athlete´s Nutrition Handbook offers guidance for weekend warriors, fitness actives, or professional athletes who are plant-curious, transitioning toward a plant-forward diet, or want to refine their existing plant-based nutrition plan. It is a comprehensive guidebook for anyone looking to either dive deep into the nitty-gritty details of the science behind plant-based eating or simply have access to easy-to-follow vegan menus, recipes, tips, and tricks that can enhance performance, recovery and health. The book also addresses specific athletic and lifecycle concerns such as inflammation, osteoporosis, menopause, and men´s health. The Vegan Athlete´s Nutrition Handbook is perfect for athletes of all levels--the recreational athlete (weekend warrior), the amateur athlete (high school or college athlete), and the professional athlete (competitor).
