Elena Postolachi's Vegan Lifestyle in Dubai

Heading 2

Dubai based Moldavian professional model, Elena Postolachi.

Elena is a vegan enthusiast and a devotee of a healthy lifestyle. Besides a healthy vegan diet, Elena practice yoga, meditation and pranayama. she believes that veganism is a state of mind which a doorway to be more open-minded and be healthy.

“I just want to mention that I am only in support of healthy vegan food and don’t believe or support any vegan substitutes like a vegan burger or vegan cheese.” The model got inspired for healthy lifestyle 11 years ago, when she read a book by a Russian author, about a woman who lived and survived in the woods, solely dependent on plants. Since then Elena had been experimenting with different diets and healthy living. However, she became completely vegan two years back when she had a realisation with her health issues. She started to have terrible skin which made her think about healthy eating. Change in lifestyle not just affected her physically but it was also self-awaking, she became more conscious and aware about her body than she had ever been “I have done a lot of study on my body”, she added “I can understand things better now inside and outside my body, and more adaptable to certain things happening in a certain way”

Where millennials don’t mind non-prescription drugs, Elena doesn’t even believe in medicinal drugs. During the interview, Elena said, “antibiotics are very harmful to you and damage your immune system” This young self-aware model believes in treating her illness with home-prepared, natural remedies “unless you are dying and the medicine is the only quick fix” Elena added. However, for regular flu, she eats a lot of fresh parsley, oranges, and garlic to kill the virus. Additionally, she drinks hot water, and later -while asleep- she sweats the rest of it out

With Elena, the phrase ‘beauty and brains’ goes very well, this beautiful nerd loves to read, and her reading list includes books on spirituality, the study of Auras, energies, and esoteric. She likes to call herself spiritual and believes in the supernatural. She is also inspired by the lives of monks and loves to read about their life journeys. Additionally, she reads books which help improve her physical and mental health. She likes to think that reading is another reason for her awakened mind and soul. Moreover, being vegan was a cherry on top which helped her reach her aspired stability.

'Sneaker'

Vegan heaven in life'n one

Elena likes cooking at home; she said: “when you cook it, you put your love into it “. She finds home-cooked meals much healthier and keeps her aware as to what goes into her food. She likes to prepare her meals with the best of ingredients with the side of forever favourite salads. However, she doesn’t mind occasional fancy eating out or random cravings for dessert. Starting from breakfast, she loves vegan waffles, porridge and scrambled tofu in Amongst Few Café and Single Fin cafés. These restaurants also have a wide variety of other vegan food, nicely prepared for filling lunch or dinner. For her sweet cravings, she loves Sneaker in life’n one which she also made me try, and it was true vegan heaven. Additionally, she doesn’t mind the occasional order-in from Little Earth as their menu has a lot of healthy vegan options, including tabbouleh, which is also one of Elena’s favourited dishes

Getting to know her apart from her runaway life was very inspiring and insightful. She suggested taking your time and going slowly, as our body will go through changes and sudden changes might overwhelm us but keep going if you are looking for a healthy lifestyle.

She added, “once you have tried veganism, you would miss those much lighter days and would want to go back to being vegan, it is a beautiful journey full of unicorns, nature and happy, healthy life.”
