🌼 Des études montrent une popularité croissante du véganisme parmi les sportifs, avec des athlètes de haut niveau comme Tia Blanco, Hannah Teter, Alex Morgan, Scott Jurek, Serena et Venus Williams adoptant principalement un régime plant based. 👉🏻 Bien que les effets du régime végétalien sur les performances sportives ne soient pas encore pleinement établis par des études, des raisons scientifiques suggèrent des bénéfices potentiels pour les athlètes explique Désirée Nielsen, RD. Les aliments d'origine végétale, riches en antioxydants et en fibres, peuvent aider à atténuer le stress oxydatif et l'inflammation provoqués par les entraînements intenses. De plus, les régimes végétaliens favorisent la croissance de bactéries intestinales bénéfiques, produisant des composés anti-inflammatoires et renforçant l'immunité, tout en améliorant la santé cardiovasculaire et l'endurance musculaire grâce à une réduction des graisses saturées. Il est recommandé aux athlètes végétaliens de surveiller leurs niveaux de nutriments essentiels et de prendre des compléments, selon Rikki Keen diététicienne sportive de l'équipe américaine. 👉🏻 Le staff des Jeux olympiques de Paris se prépare à accueillir des athlètes végétaliens, avec une augmentation significative des options végétaliennes par rapport aux éditions précédentes. Au restaurant du village des athlètes, au moins 33 % des plats seront végétaliens, avec des options variées telles que du muesli croustillant au quinoa et une moussaka aux légumes. Jennifer Bargisen vice-présidente de la cuisine chez Sodexo Live! se réjouit de proposer des plats asiatiques, africains et caribéens, traditionnellement axés sur les plantes. 👉🏻 Certains athlètes végétaliens, comme Constantin Preis et Marina Fioravanti, peuvent avoir besoin de plus de calories. En déplacement, ils apportent leur propre nourriture pour s'assurer d'obtenir les nutriments nécessaires. Preis souligne qu’il a envisagé de reprendre de la viande pour simplifier ses repas après les Jeux de Paris en raison de la contrainte mentale. #alimentation #sport #plantbased #JO2024 #vegan https://lnkd.in/ddqHWBvw

Some farmers in Switzerland have already realised that one cannot go on with ‘business as usual’. Rising temperatures due to climate change make it more difficult to grow potatoes, beets or maize, the large water-intensive monocultures on which Swiss agriculture has relied for years. Harvests are poorer due to drought and unstable weather. Legumes, on the other hand, are drought-resistant, need little water and nourish the soil naturally. This is why lentils, chickpeas and lupins have long been cultivated in the Mediterranean region and warm countries. Now a group of Swiss farmers and scientists see an opportunity to cultivate these plants in Switzerland as well in order to resist climate change and reduce dependence on increasingly unsustainable proteins such as those derived from meat and cheese. Introducing relatively new crops into a new environment (certain types of lentils were already grown in Switzerland in the past) is not easy. It requires a lot of patience, several trials and the painstaking search for the best varieties for the Swiss soil and climate and the most efficient cultivation, harvesting and processing techniques. Although the road is still uphill, these farmers, scientists and plant breeders believe they will make it. "We are close," one of them told us. I wish them good luck and hope that their efforts will take them far! I thank Stephan Gysi, Sebastian Kussmann, Christine Arncken, Melanie Rediger, Filippo Carmenati, Christine Scheiner, Yannik Schlup, Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL, gzpk Getreidezüchtung Peter Kunz for their valuable contributions to this article and video!
