Alexander Rybak: “My mottos is – a healthy lifestyle!”
- Alexander, we tell readers about organic products and their advantages in our magazine, we draw attention to a healthy lifestyle and positive thinking. We’d like to ask if you know yourself, what is organic food?
- I can guess. These are the ones, which are grown in ecologically clean conditions without using any chemicals, right? Then, of course, I know it. It is popular thing all over the world.
- Which food do you prefer?
- I love buns (laughs). I’m kidding, of course. Actually the main thing for me is the food should be fresh. Also, due to the lack of time, I prefer meals, which are quick and easy to prepare. For example, I like chicken with rice, pasta. Unfortunately I absolutely don’t have time to prepare something special.
- Where do you buy food most often?
- In the shops. My apartment is situated near the big supermarket, so I don’t need to go far to buy some food. Everything is just around the corner.
- Is it possible to order foodstuffs on the Internet in Norway? Do you use this option ?
- Yes, we have it, moreover it is a very popular thing. Lately, I don’t have a lot of free time. And I can’t buy everything in the shops fast. It’s quite often happens that when I am in the shop and there are a lot of people there, I appear to be surrounded by fans, who wants to take a picture with me or to have an autograph. So, to order products in Internet is a very good choice for me. I use this option very often.
- Alexander, how do you choose products? Is there something, what you will never buy?
- It is hard to remember. Sorry, but I will never eat “salo” (Ukrainian traditional food, a pig lard). I prefer to buy fresh vegetables, fruits, natural meat at the shops. I like sea-food very much. I try to consume only healthy and organic products, if I have a possibility. Of course, I do not eat “plastic” food, I mean such products, which don’t have taste and benefits for my health. I suppose, that these very products don’t have anything common with natural ones.
- By the way, do you pay big attention in Norway to a healthy lifestyle and healthy food, to the organic food, for example?
- Yes, of course. We care a lot about healthy food in Norway. People try to consume only healthy food. Sertificated organic food is very popular, like it is in the whole Europe. But still, many Norwegians consume some ready-to-cook foods, which influence their health. And as a result, this food influences their appearance. There are much more slim and well-shaped girls in Ukraine.
- I think you already noticed there are a lot of those, who promote healthy way of life among show-business stars . They support organic ideas in all aspects, by producing organic goods, retaining huge organic farms and starting projects, which show how to save our environment. Are you ready to support this idea?
- I always support the idea of healthy lifestyle . If someone would ask me, I try to tell both about what way I practice and what food I consume. Because I think, it is really important. I always say that you must not suffer from diets, you just have to eat only high-quality, safe, organic food. And also you must not eat only fruits and vegetables, sometimes you can eat chocolate, if it is a high-quality chocolate.
- Does your family grow vegetables on their own garden, like many stars do? Is it widespread in your country? As you may know, in Ukraine and in Belorussia, a lot of people try to provide themselves with vegetables from their own gardens.
- O, growing of vegetables is a common thing for Norwegians. Especially gardening is very widespread. As I already said, people care about their health, so they choose carefully products, which they consume. So everything, what was grown by your own hands, is two times better. Our family is not an exception. We have a small vegetable garden too, where we grow tomatoes, cucumbers, greenery. We don’t grow potato, because we don’t have enough free space.
- And in the end, what would you like to wish to the readers of “Organic.UA”?
- I wish you all a delight! And if you want to eat sweets, you can eat it. The main thing – is to know when to stop. Be healthy, choose organic!
