Brand, 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.

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.

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.

The optimum room temperature for sleeping

The optimum room temperature in living spaces is usually between 20 and 22°C. It should be a bit cooler for sleeping, around 17 to 20°C. What steps should you consider taking if previous measures you consistently implemented result in you still feeling tired and exhausted, even after a good night's sleep? Perhaps the air in the room is too dry, and your sleep at night is disturbed. In addition to the temperature, air humidity is a decisive factor for restful sleep. A healthy humidity range is between a minimum of 40 and a maximum of 60 per cent relative humidity. As the airways do not dry out so quickly within this range, sleep quality improves over the long term.

Healthy sleep cannot be taken for granted

On average, people spend a third of the day sleeping or at least struggling to sleep. So, if you live to be 85, you will have spent around 28 years sleeping. However, sleep problems are increasingly burdening our “meritocracy”. Noise pollution, apartments that are too cold or too warm, and poor air quality can impair sleep quality. Due to stress and overload, necessary measures are often not implemented. As mentioned in previous articles, the temperature in your bedroom should be 18°C, something that has even become legal and medical consensus. This applies to Switzerland and many European countries, where most people have a bed, blanket and pillow. Many well-insulated apartments tempt you to wear light or no nightwear, even in winter. The latter is generally unhealthy.

Series – Tips from the World of Naturopathy

Salads, vegetables, fruit and berries should be carefully and thoroughly washed. The best way to do this is to briefly place them in a salad strainer along with cold diluted vinegar before draining and rinsing two or three times in cold water. Place on a kitchen towel to dry or use this to wipe them down. Vinegar has an antibacterial effect. Cleaning fruit and vegetables in this way removes pesticides and chemical substances. A whitish film will often form on the surface of the water. This consists of substances that have been washed away – ones that in all likelihood no one would want to eat with their meal. This type of cleaning is particularly important when fruit and vegetables are being eaten raw. Add 100 millilitres of vinegar to a bowl of water. Berries can be added with some lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt. Always be sure to rinse well and dry.
