Goal System Habits Means Motivation Nutrition Writing

Brant, Label and Guarantee

Progressive supermarkets focus on the welfare of consumers and not on selling as many products as possible. But consumers can also make a big difference by using advances in digitalisation. Self-monitoring via apps, for example. Nevertheless, health apps with targeted information on smart shopping still need to be expanded or more present. This is not a matter of coincidence; much more of entrenched structures. We are still a long way from making life-affirming investments - in other words, investing the Swiss franc in a more economically and socially beneficial manner.

Simplify structures – recognise weaknesses – use strengths

Who doesn't wish for more time for essential things in life? Often, less is more amid luxury and general overkill of an unhealthy affluent society. Thus, the flexibilisation of work has balancing and social elements. This flexibilisation could be designed liberally, something that entrenched governing bodies too rarely sees in this way. Thus, as mentioned several times, the diversity of competing opinions would have to be targeted to generate genuinely viable solutions. If existing structures and wage systems are adhered to, constructive solutions to problems become a distant prospect. Diverse stakeholders are often set against each other even more, substantially endangering society.

“Renaissance” of the pea (Pisum Sativum)

Pea cultivation has been documented for thousands of years before Christ - initially in Asia. In the Roman Empire, among the Greeks and the Germanic tribes, peas were a staple food. The protein-rich legume reached Europe via Greece and Turkey. Freshly harvested peas were only kept for a short time and were mainly dried until the 17th century.

Emotions: Driving force, blockade, blessing or disaster for health? …

The media "live" on headlines. Negative headlines sell particularly well, especially during times of crisis and war. Escalation of aggression to violence can be the result. All people are affected, but not everyone can be sensitised similarly, so the personal approach is different.

Conversion from traditional agriculture and its processes to vegan, highly mechanised and automated agriculture could be achieved in a few years.

The degree of self-sufficiency in vegan agriculture can be increased considerably. Especially in German-speaking countries, i.e. in the middle of these latitudes, more water is available than in many other regions. Countries with abundant water resources could produce a lot of food on relatively little land within a reasonable period. This would also open up new opportunities for industry, IT and the ICT sector.

Healthy and Sustainable

Mindfulness, awareness, and rethinking habits are the themes. Start again and again with simple basics. "Give yourself a pat on the back sometimes!" - so you never stop learning, also with nutrition. Fasting in everyday life is a matter of practice because the implementation is not problem-free for everyone, but rather a matter of course that can become a habit. Fasting can be supplemented with "interval training". Growth hormone effects, BDNF can be significantly increased. Regenerative effects are documented and proven as well as cognitive abilities increase.

Asparagus with Frowner’s Guacamole and Tofu Oven Biscuits

White and green asparagus contain 90 per cent water, proteins, a few carbohydrates and fats, and only 150 calories per kilogram. Nevertheless, the vegetable is not lacking in minerals such as potassium, which has a correspondingly positive effect on the nervous system and blood pressure. Remember the considerable amount of calcium and phosphorus. Eating asparagus stimulates kidney activity and therefore has a diuretic effect. However, anyone with kidney problems should avoid asparagus.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) – ancient medicinal plant

Like no other root, ginger can suppress nausea (travel and seasickness). The essential oils of the root have an antibacterial and antiviral effect, making it an effective remedy for flu-like infections. Ginger can counteract stomach irritation and gastritis by regulating the mucus layer and stomach acid. Depending on the origin of the ginger, differences in quality and composition or concentration of various ingredients must be considered.

Rhubarb Vegan

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated hazelnuts, almonds, and sultanas. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Place a sheet of strudel pastry on a clean kitchen towel and place 2 tbsp filling on the bottom edge. Fold in the side edges and carefully roll up the sheet, starting at the filling. Place seam side down on a baking tray and brush with oil. Do the same with the other sheets until the filling is used up.

Tip: use a large pan, even in a single household, portion the stew and freeze. With creativity, you can eat healthy and varied food for several days, saving money and time, such as tofu, salad or hummus side dishes. For instance, cauliflower can be prepared in many different ways. Inspirations at stirnrunzler.com. Cauliflower gently cooked in the oven or cauliflower pizza.

2023 – A More Intense and Subtle Year

More cardio workout and exercise. In healthy sixty-year-olds, their heart rates may occasionally reach 180 or even slightly higher. This can be hazardous to health in the rarest situations. Leave high-risk sports to professionals and adequately trained people. Several factors must be considered, including preparation, knowledge, and experience. Most of the time, you don’t need competition to boost your health. But having a workout partner, on the other hand, can be motivating and helpful. A sparring partner does not have to be a boxer, for example. Minimising risk, increasing enjoyment, and sharpening focus are essential considerations.

A Kiwi per Day Supplies the Recommended Daily Vit C

After the kiwi became established in the European fruit markets during the 1970s, its consumption increased almost a hundredfold within ten years. Nevertheless, a well-known gastronomy critic described the kiwi as a "tasteless softie". Not entirely understandable when you consider the health components but also the careful preparations of the fruit.

Staying Warm and Taking Care of Oneself

To strengthen the throat and mucous membranes, sea salt nasal sprays are helpful in dry air and heated rooms. If you have a cold, it is advisable to take Echinacea drops (mixed in water) several times a day. You can also rub these drops (pure) on your forehead, chest, and back. Echina sore throat lozenges are also helpful when used with essential oils. (Echinarom of Spagyros is paid for by basic insurance if prescribed by a general practitioner.)

Pomelo – the “Big Princess” in the Realm of Citrus Fruits

The pomelo fruit was bred in Israel at the start of the 1970s by crossing grapefruit and pomelo. It quickly became a popular citrus fruit in the country, alongside tangerines, oranges, and lemons. After being grown in Israel, South Africa, Southeast Asia, and China, the fruit then named "pomelo" or "honey pomelo" appeared independently on European markets. In a warm and frost-free climate, the evergreen pomelo tree grows up to 15 meters tall. Pomelos weigh between 500 and almost 2000 grams. However, the pear-shaped pomelo's weight is partly attributed to its skin and the underlying white protective layer (or pith), which is up to two centimetres thick. The pith should be removed during preparation because of its bitter substance.

Cicorino Rosso

Cicorino Rosso salads or vegetables typically contain the bitter substance lactucopicrine, which is beneficial for digestion. It stimulates gastric juices and bile, promotes salivation, and has a diuretic effect. In addition, the real star component of this plant is carotenoids. Its mineral content includes calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron, B vitamins, vitamin C, and folic acid. The free radicals found in the plant, which produce antioxidant substance, protect against cancer, strengthen the heart, and promote circulation. Cicorino Rosso is, hence, very healthy.

How to Eat Less and Still Enjoy Food More

Low-carb diets are not only used by professional athletes, bodybuilders, and those with well-developed muscle mass. Eating less carbs, more protein, and more high-quality unprocessed foods like lentils, chickpeas, barley, oats, wheat, rye, spelt, peas, lupins, soy, and vegetables leaves you satiated for a much longer time. This also significantly boosts endurance during exercise and training. Although potatoes are still regarded as a climate-friendly food in German-speaking countries, some potato dishes have a detrimental effect on one's health, especially with excessive consumption. Consistent exercise and an occasional intense workout will increase your physical vitality within a few weeks or months, particularly when paired with a healthy, invigorating diet.

Habituation and Weaning: A Strategic Adjustment and Cost-cutting Approach

For example, a person can save up to CHF 6000 per year on food if they don't constantly buy and consume ready-made products. Even with minimal knowledge, a healthier lifestyle is attainable without having to sacrifice enjoyment. If you are well-organised, meal preparation does not necessarily take up valuable time. And if the occasion requires it, a pre-made salad or a quick meal is not so terrible. Fewer intake of heavily processed foods promotes health, which in turn boosts your daily performance. Additionally, by regularly doing meal preparation, you can save an average of CHF 3000 per year and possibly even up to CHF 6000.

Consuming dairy products and sweets every day?

Various substances in milk, such as hormones or substances that, in turn, stimulate the formation of certain hormones, have an impact on the body and skin. There is a connection between milk consumption and a higher risk of skin diseases, such as acne. This has been proven by several observational studies involving children, adolescents, and young adults between the ages of seven and 30. It’s found that this correlation became stronger the more milk is consumed. Although milk in coffee or muesli is an integral part of the majority's daily fare, animal products are resource- and energy-intensive. They require much more space and water, hence generating more greenhouse gases than plant-based foods.

Caraway – a spice, a culinary delight, and a medicine all in one

Always carrying caraway on you is cheaper and preventative, especially if you have to eat out. Almost every salad is easier to digest if you sprinkle some caraway seeds on it. It is, of course, particularly digestible when served with all types of cabbage and pulses, and it is a special treat when sprinkled on raw beetroot, carrot and celery salads. Caraway also goes well with cheese and potatoes. If you love cheese fondue, you can do without the schnapps afterwards with caraway, or you can go straight for caraway schnapps (a popular spirit, especially in northern Germany). This tangy spice can also be used in sauces, soups, bread, and savoury cakes and pastries.

Frowner’s fruit tiramisu with pomegranate seeds

Wash, dry, and pit the fruit and cut it into small pieces if necessary. In a bowl, mix the vegan whipped cream with the quark cream. You can also use vegan quark. Cover the bottom of a sealable glass dish with the cream. Add the seeds, mango slices, and a few chopped orange slices to taste. Place the ladyfingers (sugared side down) on top of the seeds and mango, packing them tightly together, and press down. Drizzle over some freshly squeezed orange juice and pomegranate juice. Again, cover well with the mixture of vanilla quark and vegan whipped cream, add another layer of fruit, press down another layer of ladyfingers, drizzle with juice, and sprinkle with more seeds if you like. Cover with the rest of the cream. Seal and leave in the fridge for at least 24 hours (preferably 48 hours).

Boost your immune system and mood with oranges

In Europe, oranges are harvested from August (early varieties from Seville) to May (late variety from Tardivo di Sanvito, Sardinia). The most prominent orange-based product in global trade is orange juice, which mostly comes from Brazil and is traded in the form of concentrate (syrup). Fresh oranges have also become firmly established in the food industry in numerous countries. Oranges are often sold in an orange wrapper, a practice which used to be carried out for protective purposes but is now used as an advertising tool.
