RAINER WANITSCHEK
Ministerial Association & Family Ministries Director


WHEN DID YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE?
At the age of 15, I joined a volleyball club. There I learned two things from the team doctor: Firstly, he encouraged us to drink at least 2 liters of water per day; in the morning to start with half a liter of water after getting up and before our games at least another half-liter. The result was that all of us from the team have become much more efficient. Secondly I got to know a vegetarian way of eating (lacto-ovo-vegetarian). Since nobody in my family knew this, I started to eat no meat, no sausage and no fish at home, but more fruit and vegetables. A very big encouragement to keep the way of eating was given to me by God through a girlfriend. Since she was also a vegetarian, the change was easier for me. It also encouraged me to get to know, that Boris Becker (Tennis star during my teenage years) and other great sportsman had become vegetarians. Later in my life (after some years of marriage) I learned to get to know a vegan lifestyle, which helped me with many health issues.


SINCE HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE A PLANT-BASED DIET?
Since 44 Years


WHAT HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS DID YOU NOTICE AFTER ADOPTING A PLANT-BASED DIET?
My body became more powerful. My skin visibly improved as a teenager. However, regular sports (running, soccer, volleyball, etc.) and adequate water drinking have also helped.


WHICH SPORT / EXERCISE DO YOU PRACTICE?
Walking, Jogging. It helps to reduce stress and sleep better at night.
