Living a vegan lifestyle is not for everyone, but if you want to do it, you can reap many positive health benefits. These benefits include helping your body heal naturally and rid itself of disease and illness. It can also help you find dormant fountains of natural energy. Tony Horton, the trainer from the best selling P90X workout has been a vegetarian for many years and he is the epitome of good health. Don’t get me wrong, being vegan does not automatically make you healthy. Many vegans make poor food choices just like everyone else and their health suffers. However, you can eat a vegan diet and push yourself as hard or harder physically than any meat eater. There is plenty of variety out there to ensure you get the proper nutrition for optimal performance. We know plenty of vegans that have completed the Insanity workout and the majority of them reported high levels of energy throughout the program. Because plant based foods are easier to digest, it follows that a vegan diet frees up more energy for the body to use during workouts and throughout the day.
