UTILISATION OF VEGETABLE OILS

People use vegetable oils for health. It's an old idea in many cultures worldwide. Now, natural and sustainable lifestyles are more important. Vegetable oils have become more significant. They're critical for nutrition, hair and skin care, and brain function and well-being. Soursop oil, Moringa oil, and Botana oil are central to this. They come from plants with unique properties and uses. Soursop oil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It can be applied to the skin or used for hair care. Moringa oil is used as a dietary supplement. It's also used in moisturising creams.

Black rice ring with vegetables

Rice is a healthy food. The black rice "Nerone" is grown in Italy. This variety gets its colour from the natural pigmentation of the outer grain layers. It supplies essential minerals and vitamins such as the relatively rare vitamin B9, skin vitamin E and cell-protecting carotene. A strong nutty flavour gives black rice its unique taste. Black rice has a high protein and fibre content and contains minerals such as iron, manganese, phosphorus and magnesium. Black rice can, therefore, be a valuable component of vegan cuisine. The Stirnrunzler recipe kitchen presents its own creation with black rice and vegetables, which can be flexibly supplemented with fried tofu or mushrooms, for example.

Regulate testosterone levels in a natural way

Sesame seeds are rich in phytochemicals and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Plant sterols ensure that the cholesterol level can be lowered naturally. Sesame seeds contain haematopoietic iron, bone-strengthening calcium, and selenium, a trace element that strengthens the immune system. Niacin is essential for regenerating skin, muscles, nerves, and DNA. Tocopherol (vitamin E) also protects against free radicals. Sesame is an essential source of protein, especially for vegetarians and vegans. The well-known natural scientist Dr Alfred Vogel avoided protein deficiency by eating enough nuts, sesame seeds, and almonds. Sesame seeds comprise around 20 per cent protein and a good half of high-quality fats.

Omega 3 fatty acids

Some non-dairy milk is fortified with DHA. A study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that soya milk consumption improved the blood lipid profile of adults with hypercholesterolaemia.Some foods, such as muesli and energy bars, are fortified with DHA. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that DHA-fortified foods improve the blood lipid profiles of healthy adults. It is important to note that the body's conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA is limited. Vegans need to consume a variety of plant-based omega-3 sources and consider supplementing with DHA and EPA, especially if they are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a history of heart disease.

Sweet peppers stuffed with vegetables

Why do peppers come in different colours? The colour of the peppers depends on the variety. Initially, chillies are always green. As they ripen, the vegetable acquires yellow, orange, red, or even dark shades, as do the different flavours. Green chilli peppers have a somewhat bitter taste, yellow ones are fruitier, and red ones have an almost sweetish aroma. Their positive effects on the immune system and metabolism are well known, as is their high vitamin C content. Thanks to their low fat, carbohydrate and calorie content, chilli peppers help with weight loss.

Better health thanks to an alkaline diet?

An alkaline-rich diet promotes consuming fresh, unprocessed foods with abundant fruit and vegetables. This leads to increased intake of essential nutrients and antioxidants, positively affecting health. However, scientific evidence does not support the idea that diseases can be prevented or cured by an alkaline-rich diet alone. The body maintains its pH value regardless of acid or alkaline intake in the diet. Many test subjects have confirmed a positive effect on health thanks to an alkaline diet. It is recommended to include alkaline-rich foods in the diet and to reduce the consumption of acid-forming foods in diets. A good approach is to favour whole grain products, healthy fats, vegetable proteins and various fruits and vegetables. Gently produced wholemeal corn products are gluten-free and preferable to wholemeal at best.

What are amino acids, and which foods contain them?

A weakened immune system and lack of drive can be signs. Other signs include concentration difficulties, inner restlessness, sleep problems, loss of performance, and depression. Furthermore, joint complaints and digestive problems can indicate an amino acid deficiency. An amino acid deficiency is detected with a blood test known as an aminogram. Various amino acids are available as dietary supplements from specialist retailers. It should be noted in this context that an overdose of proteins can strain the kidneys. Are you losing weight with amino acids? A change in diet and exercise are essential for weight loss. Nevertheless, some amino acids can be supportive when taken in the correct dosage. The need for leucine, isoleucine and valine increases with physical exertion and dieting. Diets can also lead to a deficiency of phenylalanine, tryptophan and methionine.

Quick, Easy to Preserve, Wholesome and Yet Filling

Green asparagus is already back in the chiller cabinets of the supermarkets. It's still expensive, but a slight spring fever is coming. Courgette soup can be made using the same simple recipe. It goes well with a few falafel patties, which are just as quick to prepare. The falafel "dough" and the soups can be kept in the fridge for at least three days. This is a quick way to serve a wholesome lunch or dinner after or during a busy day.

Cinnamon Is Not Just a Spice

Cinnamon enriches a healthy diet without resorting to artificial sweeteners. Essential oils ensure digestibility, and tannins soothe the stomach. Studies now show that cinnamon has a positive effect on regulating blood sugar levels and can improve insulin sensitivity. People with diabetes are usually aware of how important a healthy diet is. Cinnamon can be an excellent addition to this. Cinnamon can help lower blood sugar levels by naturally increasing insulin production. It also contains anti-inflammatory compounds and can reduce the general risk of inflammatory diseases, leading to various health problems, including diabetes. Cinnamon can also lower blood pressure and regulate cholesterol levels, ultimately positively affecting the cardiovascular system.

Shilajit and Moringa

Shilajit and moringa have been used in traditional natural medicine for centuries. They recently gained popularity due to their potential health benefits. Shilajit is a sticky, tar-like substance found in the rocks of the Himalayan mountains. In Ayurvedic medicine, the ancient remedy treats many health problems. Including chronic fatigue, debility and old age. Fulvic acid (natural humus component), humic acid and minerals are abundant in shilajit.

Healthy, Vegan Omega 3 Snacks

Omega 3 fatty acids are essential for good health. They strengthen brain function and heart health and generally ensure general well-being. Fish is one of the best-known sources of omega-3 fatty acids. But there are also many plant-based alternatives for vegans and vegetarians. Here are a few healthy options for omega-3-rich snacks to nourish the body and mind.

Muscle power, iron and beta-carotene in one pan

In the Middle Ages, spinach (Spinacia oleracea) travelled from the Near and Middle East to Spain. I was soon known and appreciated throughout Europe. The green leaves can be used in various ways. For example, in salads (baby spinach leaves), soups, smoothies and different vegetable preparations. Often, the healthy, green splash of colour. Like almost all vegetables, spinach is also a medicinal plant. Many studies emphasise its diverse composition of nutrients. Secondary plant substances, minerals and vitamins are anti-inflammatory. In addition, they combat iron deficiency, hypometabolic disorders, cancer and depression.

Light diet

Alkaline nutrition for detoxification, deacidification or bowel cleansing can be integrated into everyday life without too much effort. Fresh foods are valuable here. The call to avoid ready-made products is becoming louder in specialist circles. When the stomach and intestines rebel, herbs, teas, and herbal mother tinctures help, which is well documented. In such cases, you should also concentrate on pureed or finely chopped food, favour light, fat-free meals, and avoid animal products. Use less spicy seasoning and avoid alcohol and cigarettes.

The autumnal blaze of colour brought to your plate

Wild cabbage was originally native to the coasts of France and southern England. The simple leafy cabbages were cultivated. In the Middle Ages, the first cabbage was grown. Various types of cabbage were subsequently used. The red cabbage "Rubeae caules" was first described by Hildegard von Bingen. It was long regarded as a staple part of the diet of the population of Central Europe. However, the increasing import of vegetables pushed the power vegetable off the menu.

We are putting the focus on the “essential and realisable”. Inspire ourselves and the environment.

Promoting a vegan lifestyle improves the quality of life in the long term. More people can be fed. Less farmland, as smaller yields must be spent on farm animals. Water quality improves. Resources generally become more abundant. Diseases of affluence will shrink. Health costs are lower, especially for people of retirement age. Enjoyment does not mean rewarding active leisure activities. Is consuming sweets and food containing bad fat after sports in nature a good idea? Who wants to feel worse after a holiday than before?

Sustainable footprint with backward, forward, foresight and eco-friendly living!

Consequently, the best concepts are only helpful if we implement them. No one benefits sustainably from absurd wage structures. Nor in every case from large corporations or VAT-exempt industries. And actors from the state sector who want to avoid taking responsibility. Profit is not harmful per se. Nevertheless, permanent self-control and daily decisions require courage and common sense. Less is often more. Less wealth, for example, and energy scarcity could have positive effects. For instance, fewer overheated homes have positive impacts on health. It leads to an improved ability to think with increased productivity. More agility and knowledge enhance the decision-making competence.

The social problem of obesity – inject it away?

Overweight and obesity have become common in Switzerland and many other countries. This is because people need to understand the consequences of being prosperous. The rising cost of health insurance is a big problem for the health system. Many people are talking about it.
