A healthy diet
Beef, turkey or ostrich steaks, milk from cows, goats or soy beans – the choice of foods in our society is more opulent than ever before. We are well – far too well: almost every second German is overweight – and badly nourished: environmental pollutants, stress, the consumption of stimulants and lifestyle diseases cause our body to need more micro-nutrients than in generations before us.
What exactly does our body really need – and how much of it? Important is the right combination of macro- and micro-nutrients. In particular fruit and vegetables with their vitamins and secondary plant compounds play a significant role if we wish to remain healthy and fit. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung (German Society for Nutrition) recommends 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day. The nutritional situation in Germany shows: hardly anybody manages this.

How we eat has an effect on how we live. Healthy nutrition is based on what our body just happens to need in order to function properly. And for children the needs are different to those of adults and again different to the needs of the elderly. Certain nutrients influence whether our hair shines, our nails are firm and our skin looks healthy. What we eat effects our achievements, both mentally and physically. Top athletes, for example, target their diet on supporting their locomotory system.

Never before did we know so much about a healthy diet as we do today. There is still a considerable amount of research to be done into what exactly is contained in fruit, vegetables, sprouts, oils, fungi and algae and what influence it has on us. Are you familiar with how our food travels through our body until it supports its function in every cell as a minute element? Join us on an unusual journey through the body!

Be it skin, heart, brain or liver: every organ in our body has its own function. In order to carry this function out optimally, it has a daily requirement of nutrient, protective and functional substances.
