Jaylen Brown’s Diet

Jaylen Brown went vegetarian at the age of 24 in 2020. He discussed how going vegan at the age of 24 changed his life on the podcast "KT The Arch Degree," discussing how it affected him both mentally and physically. He said, "24 I decided to go vegan and that instantly kind of like shifted kind of a lot of different things like That year I was all-star for the first time, that I think that had a correlation. I was just moving differently."

"My thoughts was clear. Everything, my life changed in a sense. And now I intermix vegan practices with my own dietary needs to do. But like, you know, at the time when I was vegan, nothing that I appreciated more than the clear thoughts. The clarity."

Brown claims that his first NBA All-Star selection followed the diet adjustment, indicating a close link between the two factors and his enhanced play. He experienced notable advantages, such as improved mental clarity and general wellbeing, which improved his performance on the court.

Though he acknowledged that he isn't following the vegan diet exclusively at the moment, Brown is hardly the first athlete to go vegan. However, given that he has had a fantastic few years in the league since then, it is evident that it had a beneficial mental effect on him.
