Facebook question

The other day I asked a question on facebook, asking how many times a week you eat animal products. I had a good response, and I would like to say something when it comes to performance ( I am taking the health aspect out).
When you train your body get acid, the more intense it is the training the more acidic your body gets. Now is proven that animal products and high processed foods make your body acid.....so now the question is: Why would you eat animal products to make your body more acid? why would you cause more stress on your body after you cause a lot of stress training? don't you want to recover from the workout? Think about that.

You can make your body less acidic with a plant based diet, therefor you will recover faster conseguently you will improve faster! Think about that!
Feel good,

Benefits of a plant based diet


·         More energy (I notice that on my training! Is crazy the amount of energy that I have)
·         Recovery faster ( I can recover from one hard workouts faster and that allows me to schedule hard workouts closer together, and improve faster)
·         Be healthier ( Don’t need to say much here, my body is working the way it should be)
·         Lose weight (lost  a lot of body fat)
·         Stay hydrated (I don’t feel my mouth dry any more after a meal)
·         Lower core temperature (This is big, my core temperature drop, therefore I can train a higher intensity and my HR don’t go as high, also on hot days when everyone is complaining about the heat, I am feeling really good about it)
·         And much more….Ask me if you need any info, I am plant based nutrition certified!
FEEL GOOD!!!!
