How to reduce stress levels without medication: 5 supplements that really work

We live in an age where constant tension and an overburdened nervous system are almost the social norm. Chronic stress and that unpleasant, creeping anxiety have long since ceased to be merely abstract psychological concepts. They manifest as a knot in the stomach, an endless stream of thoughts before bedtime, and a feeling of exhaustion that cannot simply be shaken off with a good night’s sleep. As if that weren’t enough, stomach problems can also be counted amongst the unpleasant symptoms. Although sleep, exercise and lifestyle adjustments remain the foundation of mental balance, during prolonged periods of nervous tension our body burns through key micronutrients whilst crying out for help.

5 vitamins you should incorporate into your daily routine as autumn approaches. Do you take them too?

Mornings are starting to get colder, the days are getting shorter by the day, and the morning mist reminds us that summer has definitely handed over the baton to autumn. However, along with cosy jumpers and a cup of hot tea comes a time when our bodies are put to the test. Colder weather, crowded spaces and a lack of natural sunlight create the ideal conditions for seasonal fatigue and unwanted germs.

Imagine a world where a smartphone would be expected to run at 100 per cent capacity even when the battery is down to 12 per cent. That is exactly what modern society does to women – and, worse still, we often do it to ourselves.

Why is a good night’s sleep your secret superpower, and how can you finally treat yourself to it?

Immunity and Vitality

Do you know that feeling when your alarm goes off in the morning and you feel as though you haven’t slept at all? Your head feels heavy, your thoughts are foggy, and the first thing you think of is a huge cup of coffee. In today’s fast-paced world, we’ve somehow got used to seeing a lack of sleep as a normal price to pay and part of modern life. The truth, however, is that sleep is neither a luxury nor a passive waste of time. It is a fundamental pillar of our physical health and our inner mental balance and well-being. Let’s take a look together at what happens to us when we sleep, and how we can gently help our bodies achieve deep, undisturbed rest.

Why is a good night’s sleep your secret superpower, and how can you finally treat yourself to it?

Fun at festivals from morning till night, all-day hikes in the mountains under the summer sun, or action-packed weekends at a mountain cottage with friends. Summer is fantastic, but it can really take its toll on our bodies. Extreme heat, physical exertion, irregular sleep and a diet of langos or instant soups will sooner or later take their toll.

For protection and regeneration, choose vitamin E

Imagine that your cells are like your favourite trainers – new, clean, comfortable and flexible. But if you wear them every day to the gym, in the woods or in the mud – and, above all, without cleaning them – they’ll quickly lose their sparkle, and you won’t feel comfortable in them, let alone be able to perform at your best. It’s exactly the same with your body. Stress, UV radiation and smog all take their toll on your cells. And when their protective barrier is compromised, it starts with symptoms you’ll notice in dry skin, slower healing of blisters from trainers or cuts, or the fact that after the weekend you don’t look as fresh as a juicy piece of fruit. But you’re not on your own – there are nutrients that act as ‘cleaners’, one of which is vitamin E (the one that doesn’t show off, but gets the job done). It helps cells resist damage, protects the heart, boosts immunity and slows down the process we call ‘maturation’ (I mean ageing). These days, we can’t switch off the world around us, but we can strengthen what’s inside us. And vitamin E is the boost your body will appreciate.

4 benefits of choline for liver health

The liver in the human body works tirelessly 24 hours a day, cleansing the blood of toxins, metabolising medicines and processing fats from food. However, for this complex mechanism to function flawlessly, it needs the right building blocks. One of the absolutely most important of these is choline. Although the body can produce small amounts of it itself, without sufficient intake from the diet we run the risk of fatty liver and inflammation. Let’s take a look at exactly how choline protects the liver and why it should be a part of your daily routine.

Burnout syndrome or just a tired brain? How stress depletes our reserves of the ‘happiness hormone’

Do you wake up feeling weighed down even before you’ve opened your laptop? Morning anxiety, irritability at routine emails and a loss of motivation for projects you used to enjoy... Does this sound familiar? Many successful people, managers and entrepreneurs automatically attribute these feelings to impending burnout. However, they often fail to realise that their nervous system has simply been running ‘on credit’ for a long time, and that the problem may have a clear biochemical basis. It isn’t always just a psychological issue. Often, it’s simply a lack of fuel for your brain.

Beauty that comes from within: Discover the juicy secret to strong hair, strong nails and glowing skin

Let’s face it – how many times have you stood in front of the mirror and wondered what to change? Perhaps you’re troubled by seasonal hair loss, split ends that break before they’ve had a chance to grow to the desired length, or nails that split at the slightest touch. And what about your skin? Stress, a polluted environment or a fast-paced lifestyle can take their toll on it more quickly than we’d like.

Minerals: the heroes of our bodies

Whilst vitamins often steal the limelight on food packaging and in adverts, there is another group of micronutrients without which our bodies would simply cease to function. These are minerals. These inorganic substances, derived from the earth and water, are literally the building blocks of our bodies. Not only do they form our bones and teeth, but they also act as catalysts that trigger thousands of enzymatic reactions, maintain our heart’s rhythm and ensure we have energy from the moment the alarm clock goes off in the morning until we fall asleep at night.

Digestion and Detox

Digestive enzymes under the microscope

Digestive enzymes are specialised proteins that our body naturally produces in the digestive tract (e.g. in the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas and small intestine). Their main role is to break down complex molecules in food (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) into smaller components, which the body can then absorb through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream and use as energy or building blocks.

Digestive enzymes: digestion without the drama

What would our digestion look like under a microscope? Imagine eating a delicious plate of spaghetti with cheese sauce. The great taste is just the beginning… the real magic only begins in your digestive tract. That’s where the specialists spring into action: digestive enzymes. These ‘mini-machines’ are responsible for ensuring your body can extract everything it needs from food: energy, building blocks and nutrients. Without them, you’d get almost nothing from your food, smoothies or meat. There are several digestive enzymes, and each has a specific role:
