Do you often suffer from back or muscle pain?

If so, then you have probably caused stress and tension for the pain. However, the reason can be something completely different besides tension.

Because a deficiency of certain minerals or vitamins can cause various complaints.

Which nutrients you should have checked in case of muscle or back pain, you will learn in this article.

To what type of person do you belong? To those who lose weight impressively fast or those who struggle on the scale?

The reason for this is often the metabolism. The metabolism is often equated with digestion. However, this is not correct! Digestion is only a preliminary stage of the metabolic processes. 

There is also not only one metabolism, but many different ones: among others, sugar metabolism, protein metabolism and fat metabolism, which deals with fat cells.

But how to boost the metabolism?

With the help of certain vitamins & habits, boosting metabolism is easy!

Does this sound familiar: After a long day or an exhausting week, you feel completely drained and exhausted?

Your concentration drops, and your memory just doesn't work like it used to. 

Then it's high time to recharge your energy reserves and get some rest. 

We recommend: Before you get to this point, do something to support your brain!

In this article, we explain how you can best do that.

Are you getting enough sleep, zinc and vitamin C? Then this is already a big step for the health of your immune system. But in the colder months and during flu season, you should pay special attention to your defenses.

A well-functioning immune system plays an important role in the fight against flu germs. If it doesn't work properly, we are at risk of getting sick. 

But what exactly does the health of our gut have to do with this?

The gut provides back-up and is strongly connected to our defenses.

Learn how exactly the gut is connected to the immune system and what you can do to strengthen your defenses, especially during this flu season.

A healthy immune system is no coincidence. Daily eating habits and general lifestyle have a direct impact on our body. They help our body to protect us from infections and toxins. 

In order for our immune system to do its job properly, it needs to be constantly supplied with vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

And yet it is still inevitable that every now and then a virus or bacteria will invade our body. If an intruder has managed to get into our body, immune cells (kind of blood cells) come into action to fight it. Blood cells are a very important part of our immune system and should therefore be well supported. 

But how can we support the production of blood cells? We found out for you & are going to tell you now!

Did you know that the skeleton of an adult human being consists of up to 214 bones and more than 650 muscles? 

The health of our bones is extremely important - they keep us active and ensure that we remain fit as we age. Modern ways of working, such as sitting for hours, mean that our bodies are often strained. We should therefore make sure that we promote blood flow to our muscles and joints through an active lifestyle. Nutrition is also fundamental. Through a healthy dietary style, we need to provide our bones and muscles with many nutrients. 

Learn from us what you can do for your muscle and bone health.

For sure, each of us has already experienced some kind of inflammation. 

Perhaps in some form of strep throat, intestinal illness, or insect bite. Nowadays, more and more people, especially young people, suffer from chronic diseases such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis, rheumatism and inflammatory bowel disease. These diseases all occur due to inflammation in the body, which is the main driver of the disease process. 

We distinguish betweenacute and chronic inflammation.The difference is that in acute inflammation, a defense reaction occurs directly. For example, due to an insect bite, the skin around the bite turns red and swells. Chronic inflammations are often considered more dangerous because they have no direct trigger or at least they don't get recognized for a long time. If inflammation continues unnoticed in your body for a long time, it will weaken your immune system long-term. Depending on the type and size of the inflammatory source, inflammatory processes can even damage organs.

Do you take any supplements on a regular basis?

Our modern diets provide less and less of the vitamins and minerals we all need for our health and well-being. Modern farming methods strip nutrients from the soil, while pasteurization, pesticides and other chemicals ensure that what we eat and drink is stripped of essential vitamins and minerals. 

To ensure that we are providing our bodies with all the necessary minerals and vitamins daily, supplements are a fantastic solution. Although taking supplements seems simple, there are many ways to make mistakes. Taking vitamins correctly can have an impact on how much your health benefits. 

How certain are you about your supplement routine?

In this article, we inform you about some common mistakes people make when taking supplements. Learn from the pitfalls and avoid them in your own healthy routine!

Let's dig in!

Have you ever heard of hyperacidity of the body? 

You probably did! But maybe the topic seemed too complex to you, so you quickly lost interest. 

But this fact should awaken your interest again:  

The majority of people in our modern society suffer from hyperacidity! 

Yes, now you may be surprised or even shocked! The topic of hyperacidity is enormously important and should play an important role in your diet. 

Hyperacidity or acidosis is caused by the increasing consumption of toxic and acid-forming foods. Unfortunately, many people eat a very acidic diet and don't get enough base-forming minerals.

If you haven't heard of the beauty protein collagen yet, you must be living somewhere under a rock. 

Because in social media, the so-called beauty supplement is being promoted more than ever before. And that' s not without reason!

Collagen is one of the most popular supplements on the market. It supports the normal growth of hair and nails and healthy skin.

For this reason, supplements with collagen are often associated only with external beauty. 

However, collagen is much more than just a skin, hair and nail care product. It offers numerous other benefits that you should definitely know about. 

Learn what collagen is, what benefits it offers and why taking collagen supplements makes much sense. 

Did you know that you have about 100 trillion bacteria in your body?

That might sound a bit scary at first, because we associate the word bacteria with something negative. But bacteria are actually essential for our survival and take over important tasks in our body. Most bacteria are found in our intestines, more specifically in the colon. Intestinal flora or intestinal microbiota is the term used to describe the totality of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, etc.) that colonize the intestine.

We distinguish between good and bad bacteria: The good bacteria are enormously important for health. However, certain types of bacteria in your gut can also contribute to many diseases.

Studies have found that if you have too many of the negative bacteria in your body, you are more likely to suffer from certain intestinal diseases, such as Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

What's interesting is that the food you eat has a big impact on your gut flora.

Do you eat fish at least 2 times a week?

No? Then you're not the only one! The WHO estimates that more than 70 percent of the population suffers from an omega-3 deficiency. Yet the intake of omega-3 is extremely important, as it has many effects on our health.

 What many people do not know is that the balance between omega-3 and omega-6 is significant. These two are among the essential fats that we must consume in our diet, since our bodies cannot produce them on their own. 

Did you know that vitamins don't work properly without minerals?

Yes, minerals are essential for the activation of vitamins.

Our body functions properly only when vitamins and minerals are taken in a sufficient amount and balanced ratio and cooperate with each other.

Nevertheless, many people make the mistake of focusing only on carbohydrates, fats and proteins in their eating habits. Minerals are often forgotten. Since minerals are not a source of energy, introducing them in our diet is often forgotten. 

Yet their presence in the human body is essential!

So that this mistake does not happen to you, we give you in this article all the facts about minerals that you should know!

Did you know that in Japan they drink coffee before a nap? And in oriental culture, people regularly cleanse their soul with steam baths?

Did you know that a vitamin B deficiency often goes undetected? 

The main reason for this is that the symptoms are often mistaken for normal health problems and many people are not even aware of the factors that can lead to an increased need. In addition, it can even take ten years or more before the first symptoms appear. For example, a supposedly healthy plant-based diet can lead to a vitamin B12 deficiency if critical nutrients are missing. 

In this blog post we will show you why the group of B vitamins is so important for our health and when it can be useful to take vitamin B supplements in addition to a balanced diet.

Vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin, is essential for our health. 

The name is no coincidence: it is the only vitamin whose supply is not mainly provided by food, but by the sun. And this is exactly where the problem lies. Especially in the dark winter months, a D vitamin deficiency can easily occur in our latitudes. If there is little sunlight during the day and we spend most of our time indoors, the body's vitamin D production automatically declines.  

In this blog post, we explain how to recognize a deficiency, what causes it, and how you can easily correct a deficiency with supplementation.
