Lewis Hamilton has been the best driver on the grid for a long time now. The Mercedes driver has accumulated 6 world drivers’ championship titles in his F1 career so far.  Most people who follow Hamilton on social media know that he is vegan and also a strong advocator of the vegan lifestyle. In a recent interview, Lewis credits his plant-based diet for keeping him in top shape and helping him win titles.

Lewis Hamilton feels that he is more fitter now than he was 10 years ago

Lewis was recently interviewed by Menshealth.com. When asked what his approach to nutrition is, Lewis said, “Three years ago, I decided to follow a plant-based diet. The only thing I regret is not having done it before. My taste buds have learned about things that I never thought I would eat and that I now love: falafel, avocado, beetroot, fresh and dried fruit. I’ve also noticed a marked improvement in my fitness level since I switched, which is motivating.”

Furthermore, he said, “I was already at the top before changing my approach to food, but I was definitely struggling more and my energy was inconsistent. I had days when I felt strong and others when I was just sapped. When I switched to a plant-based diet, those highs and lows decreased significantly. I’ve also noticed positive effects on my sleep and on my health in general. The benefits keep coming, and I’ve honestly never felt better. I’m 35 now, and though theoretically, I should be less fit than before, I’m more mobile, and in better shape, than I was at 25.”

This means that Hamilton’s rivals should be wary that he isn’t anywhere close to being done yet. Lewis still has a lot of years left in F1. He’ll be raring to hit the track and continue his dominant streak. Lewis will be looking to add to his tally of world championships and surpass Michael Schumacher’s record of 7 world titles before he retires.
