Those among us with a few more years to our name know that the body reacts differently to how one takes care of it as one ages, and for star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, that is a reality he is now incorporating into how he takes care of himself to ensure his body is able to respond when he needs it to the most.
Speaking at Boston’s 2022 Media Day proceedings, the St. Louis native related how he’s shifted his approach to what he consumes to that end. “I never want to miss a game,” he explained to NBC Sports Boston.
“There’s a science part to it,” he continued. Proper recovery and things like that. The thing I worked on this summer is changing my diet, the things I eat before and after workouts to help me feel better and have more energy.
How did Jayson Tatum learn about Udoka’s suspension? “On Twitter, like everybody else.” https://t.co/wSblZnd2ie

“I’ve always been a relatively in-shape guy, I could always eat what I want. As I’ve gotten a little older, (I’ve been) realizing that the things I eat matter more. So, (I’m) really changing my diet approaching this season.”
