#Monitoring nutrient intake can help vegetarian athletes stay competitivea balanced plant-based diet provides the same quality of fuel for athletes as a meat-based diet provided vegetarians seek out other sources
Ghosh's research noted that vegetarian athletes have been present throughout history. Perhaps most notably analysis of the bones of Roman Gladiators indicate they may have been vegetarians.
There are several notable vegetarian athletes today such as marathon runners Bart Yasso and Scott Jurek and pro Ironman triathlete Brendan Brazier.
The key to success Ghosh found is that vegetarian athletes must find ways within their diet to reach the acceptable macronutrient distribution for all athletes which he breaks down as carbohydrates (45-65 percent) fat (20-35 percent
) and protein (10-35 percent. Vegetarian athletes can meet their dietary needs from predominantly or exclusively plant-based sources when a variety of these foods are consumed daily
and energy intake is wrote adequate Ghosh in his presentation. Vegetarians should find non-meat sources of iron creatine zinc Vitamin b12 Vitamin d
and calcium because the main sources of these typically are animal products and could be lacking in their diets.
Vegetarian women in particular are increased at risk for non-anemic iron deficiency which may limit endurance performance.
In addition vegetarians as a group have lower mean muscle creatine concentrations which may affect high-level exercise performance.
or remedied through several food sources acceptable to the vegetarian diet such as orange yellow and green leafy vegetables fruits fortified breakfast cereals soy drinks nuts and milk products (for vegetarians who consume dairy).
Ghosh noted that his conclusions are based on observational and short-term interventional studies but there needs to be controlled a well long-term study to further assess the impact of a vegetarian diet on athletic performance.
The presentation also included a discussion of nutrition for bodybuilders defined as athletes whose primary goals are to maximize muscle size optimize fat

#Vegetarian diets produce fewer greenhouse gases and increase longevity, say new studiesconsuming a plant-based diet results in a more sustainable environment
and were presented first at the 6th International Congress on Vegetarian Nutrition in 2013. Based on findings that identified food systems as a significant contributor to global warming the study focuses on the dietary patterns of vegetarians semi-vegetarians
and non-vegetarians to quantify and compare greenhouse gas emissions as well as assess total mortality. The mortality rate for non-vegetarians was almost 20 percent higher than that for vegetarians and semi-vegetarians.
On top of lower mortality rates switching from non-vegetarian diets to vegetarian diets or even semi-vegetarian diets also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The vegetarian diets resulted in almost a third less emissions compared to the non-vegetarian diets.
Modifying the consumption of animal-based foods can therefore be a feasible and effective tool for climate change mitigation and public health improvements the study concluded.
The takeaway message is that relatively small reductions in the consumption of animal products result in non-trivial environmental benefits
and compare the environmental impacts of producing foods consumed by vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Sabate noted that the results emphasize the need to reassess people's nutritional practices in light of environmental challenges and worldwide population growth.
