Will I have enough energy to carry out sports activities?
In accordance with caloric exhaustion, and in particular for people who usually practice high-level physical activities, the food will have to be in accordance with the intensity of the exercise requested from the body.
Numerous elite athletes and world champions in their discipline practice veganism, vegetarianism or raw veganism.
In addition, your body, by assimilating quality food, will not have to work harder to eliminate toxins, so your physical condition will be improved.
Combining certain food groups is counterproductive for the digestive process, although we have eaten healthy and good quality food, our body works excessively and produces decompositions that alter the physiological balance of the body.
Making our digestion difficult implies requiring our body to subtract resources from our body instead of, for example, strengthening our immune system, or improving the production of hormones.
