Is a Plant-based Diet Better for Athletes? | The Nutritarian Diet | Dr. Joel Fuhrman

More and more professional athletes from a wide range of sports have adopted a Nutritarian style of eating. They are not all vegan Nutritarians, but they have sworn off processed foods, minimized animal products and are eating lots of veggies, beans, nuts and seeds. — Dr. Joel Fuhrman
