ISANG taon nang under vegan diet ang aktres na si Maxene Magalona na aniya’y malaking tulong sa kanyang health and wellness journey.
Last Monday, ipinagdiwang World Vegan Day at kasabay nito ibinahagi ni Maxene sa madlang pipol ang mga benefits na nakukuha niya sa tinatawag na plant-based diet.
“Being vegan for a year now has truly helped us improve our lives so much. We have way more energy, our digestion, and metabolism work faster and we just feel so much better overall,” simulang caption ng aktres sa kanyang IG photo.
“Knowing that we can enjoy the food we eat without having to cause pain and suffering to other living beings just brings us so much peace and happiness,” aniya pa.
Sinabi pa ni Maxene na ang desisyon niyang mag-shift sa vegan diet ay ang yoga’s “moral codes.”
“One of the moral codes we follow in yoga known as ‘ahimsa,’ which means non-violence in Sanskrit, is what got us to make this shift in our diet. It states that we are not supposed to cause harm to other living beings.
“It also helps us become kinder and more compassionate as we truly believe that what we eat becomes our energy so consuming only cruelty-free food allows us to vibrate in the same kind of frequency,” dagdag pa niya.
Hindi na rin daw siya gumagamit o bumibili ng mga bagay na mula sa mga hayop tulad ng “leather, silk, and wool.” Pero nilinaw ni Maxene na hindi niya sinasabi ang lahat ng ito para husgahan ang ibang tao.
“We are just sharing our story for those who might be interested in this path as this is one of the ways we try to contribute goodness to the world,” katwiran ng aktres na nasa Bali, Indonesia pa rin hanggang ngayon kasama ang asawang si Rob Mananquil.
