23.01.2022 Little sleep does not only make you cranky, it can also have significant impact on your health. A study of more than 3000 adults showed that chronic sleep problems are tied to difficulties in daily functioning later in life. (Friedman EM J Am Geriatr Soc 2016;64(11):2235-2241) Short sleep is also associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (for example stroke or heart attacks). A recently published study of 141 people suggests that a disturbed function of the in...ner layer of blood vessel walls might be responsible for this. (Hall M et al, SLEEP 2017.Vol 40 (1):1-9) And the bottom line? If you tend to sleep less than 6 hours, think about improving your sleep duration for health benefits, and don’t forget to exercise and to eat a healthy diet. #sleep #healthybody #healthyhabits #happy #healthy #prevention

23.01.2022 Happy Valentine's Day! The day to love others and ourselves! Treating ourselves to the best possible health should be a daily habit. But did you know that 80% of chronic diseases are preventable? Also up to 50% of the most prevalent cancers in western countries are preventable with a healthy lifestyle? I will post a lot more on this topic over the next weeks. Please tag a friend who could benefit from this info. Enjoy the rest of your day! #love #health #longevity #disease # prevention #cancer #diabetes #hypertension #obesity #smoking #healthyhabit #wholefoods #lifestyleismedicine #medicine

22.01.2022 Do you know SMILES? SMILES stands for Supporting Modification of Lifestyle in Lower Emotional States. It is the first-ever randomised controlled clinical trial to test a dietary intervention as treatment for clinical depression. And the result? Makes me smile: participants who ate healthier became less depressed. This means that FOOD can be an efficacious treatment strategy for mood disorders. Isn’t that great? Here are the 5 magic ingredients: 1)follow 'traditional' die...tary patterns, such as the Mediterranean, Norwegian, or Japanese diet; 2) increase consumption of fruits, vegetables, legumes, wholegrain cereals, nuts, and seeds; 3) include a high consumption of foods rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids; 4) replace unhealthy foods with wholesome nutritious foods; 5) limit your intake of processed-foods, 'fast' foods, commercial bakery goods, and sweets.

20.01.2022 Our brains gradually shrink as we age, and the reason for this is the slow and steady loss of brain cells (known as neurons) with time. This is not necessarily bad. Remaining neurons can jump in and take over the function of the lost neurons. However, if too many neurons die, compensatory mechanisms eventually fail and memory problems develop. Interestingly, not all brains shrink at the same speed. Apart from age and genes, being overweight might significantly contribute t...o the death of brain cells: A recent study from the University of Cambridge, UK, found that being overweight or obese may significantly age the brain- by up to a whopping 10 years! The researchers studied the brain volume of 437 healthy adults. They were particularly interested in the size of the white matter, the part of our brain that forms all the connections. Compared to adults of normal weight, overweight individuals had significantly reduced white matter volume that on average represented a decade of brain ageing. These changes were mostly seen after the age of 40 and this raises the possibility that our brains are especially vulnerable to the effects of obesity from mid adulthood onwards. Therefore, if you are overweight, it is never too late to take action and to look after your body and your brain. Source: Neurobiology of Aging 47 (2016) 63-70

19.01.2022 This recipe brings back my childhood memories in Austria. My mother used to make asparagus with eggs in springtime. The original recipe contains eggs; I came up with the following alternative I hope you enjoy it! Ingredients: 1 bunch asparagus 1 bunch broccolini... 1 tbsp ketjap manis block firm tofu, crumbled 1 clove garlic, sliced pomegranate pits (approx. 1 handful) approximately 2 tsp olive oil fresh chive, cut 1 tsp turmeric salt, pepper How it works: Saute asparagus and broccolini in olive oil until dark green but still crisp. Season with ketjap manis, put aside. In a separate pan, saute garlic in olive oil until soft, but not brown. Add tofu, season with salt and pepper. Add 2-3 tbsp water and turmeric, stir. Add fresh chives. Serve immediately with asparagus, decorate with pomegranate pits. I made buckwheat as side dish (not on picture). Like this recipe? Share it!

17.01.2022 It is amazing what this young man has achieved. Our brains are able to do incredible things, if we just stimulate them the right way. Our brain and body are connected, and physical activity can have enormous influence on how our brain functions. And- it is never too late to give it a go!

17.01.2022 When it gets warmer we become more conscious of our body -we want to look gorgeous in our new bikini after all... Shoudn't we make our health first priority all year round?

15.01.2022 Healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated. This recipe is a good way to use up vegetable leftovers- and is done in no time! Happy eating! Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa 1/4 cup amaranth cup millet... 3 cups vegetable stock 2 carrots, cut in cubes 1 zucchini, cut in cubes eggplant, cut in cubes 2 garlic cloves 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp dried thyme seeds of pomegranate 50g rocket feta cheese to garnish (optional) olive oil, salt, pepper How it works: Cook quinoa, amaranth and millet in stock until all fluid is absorbed. (Don’t worry if you don’t have amaranth and millet, this recipe works fine without. I just like the nutty taste of amaranth for a change.) In the meantime, spread out cut vegetables on a baking tray, season with salt, oregano and thyme, sprinkle with olive oil and bake until slightly brown. Serve quinoa with vegetables, rocket, pomegranate and crumbled feta. This recipe also works well with beetroots and mushrooms.
