Maria was born and lived her whole life in Saint Petersburg, and two years ago she moved to Lisbon, Portugal, with her husband.

At the age of 42, in search of better nutrition, Maria changed her eating habits, switching from "cutlets and buns" to a 100% fruit-based diet, and a few months later her husband, Renat, followed suit.

With her second degree, she works as an editor and proofreader, working with instructions and documents in the same company. She is also the editor-in-chief of the Vegan Russian portal.

Two paths led Maria to fruitarianism: the first – proper nutrition, which she pursued since 2016, gradually eliminating various products and studying them; the second – an ethical attitude towards animals since childhood, thanks to which she became a vegetarian, and then a vegan. It was on a fruitarian diet that Maria felt freedom and finally resolved the question of nutrition, which she had been studying since entering university.

To those who want to switch to a fruit-based diet, Maria advises them to understand: what we put into our bodies has the greatest impact on them; our organism is built from this. It is only up to us what our body and mind will be like now and in the future.

At the Festival, we will hear Maria's sincere story about how to switch to a fruit-based diet and stay on it without the desire to break it and return to her old life.
