Vegan diet is helping me on and off the pitch, says Bellerin

The Spain international says that his new plant based diet is paying dividends, helping him to recover quicker from tough games

Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin believes that his new vegan diet is helping him on and off the pitch.

The 23-year-old changed his dietary habits at the start of the season and has already noticed improvements in his post-match recovery.

Bellerin, speaking to The Players Tribune, revealed that he no longer has to strap up his ankles to play and feels more energetic since adopting the plant-based diet.

“I’ve been vegan since the beginning of the season more or less,” he said.
