Abstract
Health is one factor in leading a fulfilled life. Since food and sport are considered to be 'medicines', their continuous inter-related application is a highly effective but simple tool for improving individual health. However, being a healthy human is a prerequisite for becoming a successful athlete. Vegan diets are booming in the mainstream and in sport. From current sporting success all the way back to ancient times, it is evident that vegans can win races up to professional levels and even break records.
