Regular exercise is a crucial step in building muscle. Progression, however, doesn’t come without a healthy diet. A solid plant-based diet can make all the difference in how your body builds and recovers muscle tissue after a workout. Improving your diet with healthy foods can help prevent a number of mobility issues, including soreness, stiffness, and pressure on your joints.

Eating a plant-based diet doesn't mean you have to cut out meat entirely, but rather increase your intake of leafy greens and other whole foods (especially beets!).
