THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD NUTRITIONS FOR VEGAN ATHLETES

Latest statistics from ‘The Vegan Society’ reveal the last ten years have seen numbers of vegans increase by a massive 350% in the UK alone. Almost 600,000 of us Brits are now proudly following the vegan diet, which is associated with improved health and wellness. There are a whole range of physical benefits linked to veganism including increased life expectancy, reduced risk of cancer and decreased chance of developing heart disease or diabetes. Avoiding the consumption of animal products also positively impacts the appearance of our skin. In addition, the vegan lifestyle can improve our overall mental health, promoting wellbeing while lowering the likeliness of being affected by common mental disorders such as anxiety and depression. Exercise not only changes your body, it changes your mind, your attitude and your mood. Keeping physically active is extremely beneficial to our health and wellbeing, yet accessing nutritional fitness products can be a bit of a nightmare for the vegan population. Thankfully, nowadays there are some fantastic vegan-friendly products that are both affordable and effective. For example, RINGANA Sports range literally has everything we’ve been looking for.

Supplements for Super Sporty

Exercise is the most underutilized antidepressant. Mental illness affects one in four UK adults, however research confirms a reduction in symptoms among those of us who exercise on a regular basis. Those of us who engage in physical activity can expect to live longer, happier and more fulfilling lives than those who are inactive. While the vegan diet is very healthy and filled with nutritional value, specially designed sports supplements can give us a helping hand. Using all natural ingredients and with no animal testing or products involved in the production, RINGANA Sport Push supplements make the perfect choice. Great value for money, the Push capsules make the maintaining of our sport routines more realistic. Even with the most demanding activities they strengthen your ability to fight off feelings of fatigue by stimulating the use of our body’s reserves. Although enabling maximum performance, Push supplements will also reduce the length of time your body requires to make a full recovery. So you can push yourself to the limit without the worry of being out of action afterwards.

Energy for when it's Essential

Life in the 21st Century is often fast-paced and frantic. Freeing up time to focus on fitness can be challenging enough, let alone finding the energy. We all know that feeling of exhaustion after a long day spent working, carrying out family duties and keeping on top of the housework. As we begin our work-out it’s not uncommon to crave extra energy in a bid to improve our stamina and overall performance. Many of the products designed for quick-release energy are packed full of sugar and artificial ingredients which sort of counteracts the benefits gained from the physical activities we’re doing. Discovering a healthy alte ative which is also suitable for vegans can be described as the equivalent of looking for a needle in a haystack. I mean, there are only so many bananas we can eat, right? Imagine my delight when I came across the Sport Boost by RINGANA which thankfully ticks all the boxes. The perfect source of energy for high endurance sports, it improves performance and stamina using only natural ingredients. The clever addition of amino-acids provides you with that quick and immediate boost, while impressively leaving long-lasting energy too.

The after Workout Answer

It’s no secret that working out leaves you looking great and the release of endorphins can put you on a high. That’s all very good, but what about the after work-out aches and pains that we experience in our muscles and joints? There is an answer! A vegan-friendly, thermal active gel is exactly what it's needed. Tried and tested, I can recommend the RINGANA Sport Gel which is suitable for even the most sensitive of skin types. This gel is heavenly after a work-out. The best way I can describe it is like a cuddle and a massage rolled into one, taking the form of a gel. Applying after exercise will put an end to those sore and stiff body parts. Natural ingredients such as chilli and ginger will immediately provide a sense of warmth as they get to work on relaxing and soothing your hard worked muscles. The addition of mint-menthol relieves the burning feeling often felt in our joints and muscles post-exercise. This gel really is a godsend as it also promotes increased blood-flow back into your muscles and skin. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the included caffeine that’s extracted purely from rich coffee beans promises to leave your skin looking and feeling energized. Overall, the Pure, Boost and Go Sport range from RINGANA provides your body with some TLC allowing increased activity, enhanced performance and improved health and wellbeing. Try it for yourself and you'll be amazed. In addition, the price is good too, so all together that's a value for money.
