DESCRIPTION: Might the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of plant-based diets undermine some of the benefits of exercise?

More on enhancing athletic recovery in my recent three-part video series:

1. Reducing Muscle Fatigue with Citrus (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/reduc...)
2. Reducing Muscle Soreness with Berries (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/reduc...)
3. Preventing Exercise-Induced Oxidative Stress With Watercress (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preve...)

Then there's my 15-video series on using nitrate-rich vegetables to boost athletic performance starting with Doping With Beet Juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/dopi...) and ending with So Should We Drink Beet Juice or Not? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/so-sh....

More examples of plants over pills in:

• Produce, Not Pills to Increase Physical Attractiveness (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/produ...)
• Raisins vs. Jelly Beans for Athletic Performance (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/raisi...)
• Prunes vs. Metamucil vs. Vegan Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prune...)
• Can Folic Acid Be Harmful? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/can-f...)
• Lutein, Lycopene, and Selenium Pills (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lutei...)

If it's lemon verbena's antioxidant content, then there may be a better option. See The Healthiest Herbal Tea (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-h...) and Better Than Green Tea? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bette....

I'll continue this thread in my next video, Preserving Immune Function In Athletes With Nutritional Yeast (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prese....

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/enhan... and he'll try to answer it!
