Healthy food for the stressed and the lazy

Not everyone enjoys preparing healthy, delicious food, or is lucky enough to live with someone who loves to cook. Some people are lazy about cooking, others are stressed and simply don’t have time to cook in their day-to-day lives (or they set their priorities differently). But you can’t always go out to eat or order in, which is quite expensive in the long run and …

Don’t be afraid of cholesterol

I last published an article on the subject of fats. Of course, anyone who talks about fats must not forget cholesterol. When we talk about cholesterol in everyday life with patients or relatives, it is usually only in the context of elevated blood lipid levels: „Your cholesterol level is too high, we urgently need to lower it!“. I admit to having heard more than once that …

Why (saturated) fats are important

This post is a big concern for me personally! As far as I remember, I always liked especially the fat part of the food: rice and potatoes with butter, the fat from meat, cakes and porridge with cream and breads with butter, nut puree and so on. (But be careful, I’m not talking about factory fats, potato chips and milk chocolate!) I had actually heard …

Chicory-orange salad

Today I would like to introduce you to one of my very favorite winter salads. It is a combination of orange, chicory and walnut in a creamy dressing. It is fruity, a little bitter due to the chicory, slightly creamy thanks to the dressing, and chopped walnuts give it some „crunch“. It’s great as a side dish with hot meals or as a main meal …

Top tips for good digestion

We all know them, but nobody likes to talk about them – digestive problems. Yet they can be very restrictive to everyday life and sometimes quite painful. In most cases, they are functional complaints, i.e. no organic cause can be found. However, if warning symptoms such as blood in the stool, frequent alternation of constipation and diarrhea, and weight loss occur, it is advisable in …

The best porridge

Seriously, Alina, another recipe for porridge? It’s true, there are plenty of oldschool porridge recipes and pictures out there. But most of them have one thing in common – they forget the important step of soaking! Others prepare the porridge in the microwave, even worse. Soaking takes no less than 20 seconds and then the porridge does its work by itself during the night. The …

Simple banana bread

After a bit of a busy week, I’m back today with a recipe for a super delicious, easy banana bread! It’s great for using up overripe bananas as well as chocolate that you don’t want to eat like that anymore. The banana bread tastes good as a quick breakfast during the week, plain or with butter and honey, toasted up, or in the afternoon with …

Tips for more exercise in your everyday life

Even in „normal times“, most of us already had sedentary jobs. Corona hasn’t made things any better. Many of us sit in a home office and barely move more than to the bathroom or kitchen during the day. In the evening, the whole body is often tense, the neck and back ache. This is not surprising when you consider that our bodies are actually designed …

Top tips against morning sickness

Today I would like to share with you a few tips against morning sickness. Luckily, I was only mildly affected myself, but I still tried a few things. Some of them worked quite well, which is why I would like to share them with you. Maybe you are going through this phase yourself and are grateful for every possibility to relieve the nausea. However, if …

Simple pumpkin soup with toppings

The pumpkin season is actually already over, but I’m still in soup mode. Luckily, there is still enough stock to make this simple pumpkin soup with toppings. It makes a perfect quick lunch or dinner on cold days. With ginger, curry and coconut milk, it has a slight Asian touch. And with numerous toppings, it gets extra zing and bite, so you don’t feel like …
