I'm thinking of adopting a vegan diet. I've done a little research and it seems healthy if it's balanced right. The thing is, I'm a collegiate, competitive athlete and I know my body needs different amounts of nutrients, especially protein, calcium etc. Is a vegetarian diet right for an athlete? If so, how do I go about easing into it so I don't risk depleting my energy levels?

My cousin is 14 years old. His sternum has gradually been protruding outward over the years. My mom and I are concerned about his health. He says it doesn't hurt him but we are still very concerned. Do you know any type of disorders or diseases that has this as a symptom?
