1. This article is going to talk about sport stars and teams and there transition into
veganism. More and more athletes are becoming vegan and it is changing their
lives. This is just a couple of stories showing how becoming vegan changed their
lives.
Mike Tyson is a retired boxer and became vegan due to health problems. He was
taking drugs and alcohol, which had put his life in risk and he was put in rehab
for this reason. He decided to become vegan because he wanted to become fit
and healthy again. Also his wife had become vegan so he decided that he would
try it out. Mike Tyson was vegan for four years in which he became fitter than he
was when being a boxer. He gave up being vegan but decided to keep to a daily
fitness routine to stay fit and healthy.
Nate Diaz how is a UFC fighter has been vegan since 18 years old. He started by
being a vegetarian but at 18 years old made the change to being vegan. When he
became vegan it made him a better fighter, as he was faster and smarter when
fighting his opponents. Nate has a brother how is also vegan and he changed his
diet because of the success of his brother. Nate proves that vegan plays a part in
his success after beating Connor McGregor after only 11 days training. The first
vegan fighter was Mac Danzig in 2000 and ever since then more fighters have
become vegan including female fighters.
David carter is a NFL player for the Chicago bears and he is a vegan line-backer.
David weighs three hundred pounds and has to weigh this otherwise he will be
too weak to compete at this position. David became vegan due to a documentary
he watched about what meat does to your body and found out this is the reason
to his tendonitis getting worse. When becoming vegan he lost forty pounds,
which was not good for him as he was not at the requirement he needed to be to
play his position. But he was becoming faster and stronger, so he had to start
eating more food to be able to stay vegan and be a line-backer. So he would eat
five meals a day as well as multiple smoothie per day. As a result of this he is
able to be vegan and a NFL player and also has no tendonitis anymore due to him
being vegan.
A football club in the national league called Forest Green Rovers have gone
completely vegan. The club have made it so that fans and players can only eat
vegan meals. The changed happened because of the health world organisation
putting out a report on how meat can cause cancer. The club was already a
vegetarian club but made the jump to a vegan club. The owner of the club is also
vegan, and this played in as a factor when changing the club to a vegan club. The
club have also started making changes to the ground by adding a organic pitch
and solar panels to the roof of the stadium to make it more eco-friendly. The club
have opened a technology centre where people can come and learn about
veganism. Forest green is hoping bigger clubs decide to go vegan and if that
happens it could became a popular thing with football clubs. But Forest green
will not be able to make this big thing due to the team and what league they are
in.

2. Lots of sport players have become vegan, which has improved their lives and
made them better sport competitors. If these sport athletes had never become
vegan they would not be the person they are today. For instance Mike Tyson
would still be taking drugs and be in rehab, Nate Diaz would not have had the
success he has had when being a fighter, David carter would still be having
problems with tendonitis and may be in so much pain that he wouldn’t be
playing in the NFL and finally Forest green wouldn’t have been the first vegan
team and potentially saved the lives of there fans and players.
