Saving health

He turned vegan aged 52. His family had always suffered from heart problems, and Dusan was experiencing high cholesterol and blood pressure.

“I turned from a meat-eater to a vegan overnight and after only two weeks all my problems disappeared – and I was able to sleep better, calmed down, stopped snoring and my overall health improved rapidly. I haven’t had any health problems since.”

Dusan is also a respected trainer, having coached a number of students to bodybuilding success, and is the author of ‘Naturally Amazing’, a guide to training on a vegan or vegetarian diet.

“As I can see, more and more people are turning to vegetarian or vegan lifestyles around the world. I don’t try to persuade people to become vegan or vegetarian, I just recommend a correct diet and I try to be the best example to them.”
