I'm from Algeria but I lived most of my life in Russia where I met my wife. ♥
I was living like most people eating everything I like, but I knew that a lot of food we eat is harmful because it's not natural or contains genetically modified organism. I knew for example that meat contains a lot of cholesterol and can cause heart diseases. I even watched a long time ago a documentary about how eating just natural products helps to feel much better. That's why I was ready to accept a life without eating meat.
I was 30 years old when I met my wife and I liked her because she is beautiful and tall and interesting. I didn't know that she is vegan but we kept in touch with each other. But she was always telling me about her passion to be vegan and how she protects animals and even environment. I knew a lot of things about those topics and I watched a video about that, which I always remember. That's why I always supported her because I understand her.
So before our marriage we lived apart and I wasn't eating meat just in front of her, but I kept thinking to eat it less or stop eat it at all. After our marriage we started to live together and of course I am not eating meat at all at home because she cooks everything and I support her also by not bringing any animal products home. So all this time living together I try to not eat meat or animal products even outside. I am trying to became completly vegan because I love my wife. ♥ I hope someday I will be completly vegan because of a more important problem - not killing animals. I really understand what harm people are causing to them.
Being almost vegan for about two years really helped me with a lot of health problems I had before :
I used to sleep too much and I thought it was because I am so tall, but that wasn't the reason. I sleep less now and I have more time to do good things and to profit from my life. ☺
I was always lazy to do some sports or other things, but I'm more active now and I can do a lot of useful activities to enrich my living. ☺
My overall health has become much better and I catch cold less. Even if I have some cold, it passes so fast because a lot of new healthy food I eat now that I'd never heard before. ☺
I really feel good being almost vegan and I hope I will find that power to become completely vegan to save at least a few animals from being killed and even murdered. If you are not a vegan or vegetarian either, you have to really consider this amazing diet that can make your life and the life of other species better.
