The Vegan Athlete's Nutrition Handbook The Essential Guide for Plant-Based Performance

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.

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).
