Healthy Living Starts with Knowledge

Paracelsus already said: “God has made a plant grow for every illness. Look around in nature and make use of the gifts of nature’s pharmacy.” Unfortunately, many people, including modern conventional medicine, have forgotten that herbal medicine, which today is referred to as “alternative” medicine, was the only known healing art until about 150 years ago. So this is a good reason to take a closer look at helpful herbs and plants and introduce them to you here.

Vitamins are organic substances that have a catalytic function in the body in the biochemical reactions of metabolism. They must be supplied from outside the body and are not building blocks of the body (otherwise, for example, amino acids would also have to be counted among the vitamins).

Every child knows it, and it has long been considered the ultimate booster for our immune system: vitamin C. For some time now, a small, tart fruit from the Amazon region has been causing a stir not only in research, as its vitamin C content far exceeds anything previously known: camu camu.

Inflammation once again shows us what a sophisticated system our body truly is. Contrary to popular belief, inflammation is not necessarily a bad thing at first. Rather, it is a highly intelligent mechanism our body uses to repair damaged tissue. However, if this important and useful repair mechanism falls out of its natural balance, it can have far-reaching consequences for our health.

Enzymes are the sparks in our organism and are absolutely essential for our health and well-being. Because without enzymes, practically nothing works in our body. They control all metabolic processes and are particularly important for our digestion, the immune system, and the blood.

Glutathione is the most important antioxidant in our body. At the same time, it is our most important endogenous detoxifying substance.

Because almost every disease is associated with a depletion of our glutathione pool.

Vitamin D is considered THE vitamin for the health of our bones. What many people don’t know: Vitamin D is one of the most important nutrients when it comes to strengthening our immune defenses and effectively preventing infections! This is because it plays a crucial role in many vital processes in our body.

Glutathione is currently one of the most discussed dietary supplements and is now regarded as a kind of superfood. And for good reason: glutathione in its reduced form is one of the most important intracellular antioxidants produced by the body.

When it comes to proteins, most people immediately think of bodybuilding and muscle mass. What is often overlooked: proteins, commonly also known as protein, are not only important for building muscle. Without proteins, none of us could live. Because proteins, which are made up of amino acids, are the primary building blocks of our cells and are therefore involved in almost all vital processes in the body.

Who hasn’t experienced it? Your belly rumbles, your stomach hurts, and your intestines send clear signals! Complaints that each of us experiences from time to time; unfortunately, for many of us, gastrointestinal problems have become an everyday occurrence.

Knowledge about antioxidants promises that this does not have to remain just a dream. Of course, unfortunately, they cannot work miracles either and transform us into young, beautiful, and healthy people in a matter of seconds like a fairy with a magic wand, but…

Once the liver begins producing the body’s own glutathione, a true “La Ola wave” passes through the body. After all, it is also known as the “master antioxidant.”

Undoubtedly, many people today trust synthetic and chemical pharmaceuticals. Nevertheless, for some time now there has also been a noticeable countermovement whose supporters swear by natural medicines and dietary supplements.

Apple or pear? When it comes to classifying body types, most women as well as men would prefer to respond indignantly, “Neither!” and point to their own well-shaped hourglass silhouette or V-shape.

Vitamins, minerals, and trace elements – in short, micronutrients – are a true elixir of life for us humans. It is not without reason that these small, valuable helpers are often also referred to as vital substances. After all, only with an adequate supply can our organism produce important hormones, enzymes, and other substances that are in turn responsible for metabolic processes such as regeneration, vitality, and growth.

Everyone should know by now that fiber is an important part of a balanced diet. However, what fiber actually is, why it is so important for our bodies, how and where we find it, and above all how much of it we should consume is usually not known.
