How This Atlanta Braves Player Accidentally Became Vegan. And Why He Isn't Looking Back.

After undergoing UCL reconstruction surgery, Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider decided to adopt a vegan diet during his recovery. He quickly noticed improvements in his health, including coming off medication for high blood pressure. Many other athletes, such as CC Sabathia and Ryan Sheriff, have also found success with plant-based diets, citing increased strength, endurance, and overall mood.

Strider sees veganism as more than just a diet, expressing concerns about the environmental impact of factory farming. Research backs up his stance, suggesting that reducing meat consumption is crucial for addressing climate change. He encourages others to make even small changes towards a more plant-based lifestyle, believing that any improvement, no matter how small, can have a positive impact on the environment and the planet.
