Venus Williams who has been suffering from Sjogren syndrome has got some more support in the form of her sister. Serena Williams has decided to help Venus by adopting her diet.

Serena admitted that she has given up eating chicken and fish and is eating more raw foods like her sister Venus. To cope with the disease which causes fatigue and joint pain, Venus was advised to adopt the diet.

"I've always been a better eater than her, even though I'm a lot, lot thicker. I don't want her to come home and see a piece of chicken and be like, 'Oh, I want it,' and she can't have it. It would be like a stumbling block for her," said Serena.
Serena, the younger of the two and holder of 13 Grand Slam titles, insisted that the diet was not that big a deal for her. Serena had only just returned to the tennis circuit after having sustained injuries on her ankle this year.

"I'm looking forward to playing, and just playing and being healthy; I haven't really been healthy in a few years, and I'm just really looking forward to having a chance to play and continuing to be healthy," the former World No.1 said.
