Aaron Rodgers Comments on Changes to Diet, Impact on His Health
In an effort to maximize the duration of his playing career, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has made a concerted effort to eat healthier.
Since undergoing minor knee surgery in January, Rodgers, 32, said last week he is now leaner after shifting to a vegan-focused diet, per ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky.
"I just wanted to get healthier," said Rodgers. "I've done a lot of research and talked with Adam Korzun, our [team] nutritionist, and some other friends around the league about how I can extend my career and how I can be and feel healthier."
The diet cuts out dairy products, which means Rodgers can no longer enjoy Wisconsin's notoriously tasty cheese.
