Plant-based diets are growing in the pro sports world, as many star athletes have ditched meat and dairy to gain a competitive edge and maintain longevity in their careers.
Basketball player Chris Paul switched to a vegan diet in 2019 at the age of 34 when he was with the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the switch helped him return to the NBA All-Star game for the first time in four seasons, he told Men's Health.
Paul returned to the All-Star game again the next season and even helped lead the Phoenix Suns to the NBA Finals.
