Gluten Free For the Win!


Novak Djokovic has been the number three tennis player in the world (behind Roger Federer and Raphael Nadal) for the past three years. Since the start of 2011, he has gone on a 38 match winning streak (40 if you go back to December), collecting seven titles, beating Nadal four times in a row (twice on clay!), and closing in on John McEnroe's best winning streak of all time – 42 – set in 1984. 

His secret? Last year his nutritionist discovered Djokovic has a gluten allergy and he cut the offending protein out of his diet. That one small change has been the tipping point, launching the tennis player on his way to becoming number one in the world if he can make it to the finals of the French Open, which started yesterday and goes for two weeks.

At this point, it's looking like he can't lose.
