Week 13 Journal

My intended audience for my recast is anyone that is interested in nutrition including vegans. As well as athletes that are interested in becoming vegan. My purpose for my recast is to show that a vegan diet while be an endurance athlete or any athlete is not sufficient in remaining healthy. I think I am going to use an infographic as my medium or a brochure. Both are good visuals because the age range for my audience will typically attract anywhere from teens and older, nothing younger as something like changing a diet is a big life change for a young person. I am going to use some facts that I used in my essay like statistics that show support my claim. In hopes that research will help convince my audience. A tool I will use is google docs or microsoft word. Both I have access too but I am more familiar with google.

“ Of the indispensable amino acids, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are particualry important for promoting muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These amino acids are more concentrated in animal-based protein compared to plant protein”(Johnston, Lynch, et. al., 2018).

“… much attention has been given to dietary protein in the prevention of muscle injuries. It is accepted that the provision of dietary proteins enhances the adaptive processes to both resistance and endurance based exercise… therefore, attractive to hypothesize that increasing dietary protein may alleviate markers of muscle damage”(Baar, Close, et. al., 2019). 

The main findings were: (i) vegetarians and vegans weighed significantly less than omnivores…”(Boldt, Knechtle, et.at., 2019).
