Balzam na pečeň a žlčník - Púpava lekárska
Púpava (anglicky dandelion, latinsky Taraxum officinale, inak aj mlieč, smotánka, májik) je každému dobre a všade prítomná burina (hlavne ak sa z tej medicíny nič nevyskytuje cez noc na perfektnom zelenom trávniku, vyrastie dokonca v štrbine asfaltu), v prvom rade je to liečivá rastlina v bylinke dlho jeho. Mliečne kanáliky obsahujú bielu šťavu, ktorá tuhne na vzduchu a zanecháva farebné škvrny na rukách. Semená púpavy dokážu precestovať kilometer. Patrí medzi najdlhšie kvitnúce rastliny, celá je jedlá avšak s nie veľmi príjemnou horkastou chuťou.
Do we need the 'sunshine' vitamin D3 only in winter?
When you feel the sun's rays on your skin, know that your body is creating one of the most important vitamins - D3, which was discovered thanks to centuries of research. The discovery of vitamin D3 became one of the most significant medical achievements of the 20th century, saving millions of lives: It was the year 1650 and in the streets of London, doctors noticed that more and more children were suffering from a strange disease called rickets (their bones were weak and brittle, legs deformed, growth slowed). It wasn't until 1919 that Dr. Huldschinsky exposed children with rickets to ultraviolet light and their bones began to heal! Three years later, biochemist McCollum discovered a substance that prevented rickets and called it vitamin D. Gradually, the existence of the most important form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) was discovered.

Omega 3, precious message of the sea
Do you long to wake up with ease in the morning, look fresher, not feel joint pain, have more energy, be able to focus, and feel better in your body? We could find the solution from fishermen who got up earlier than the sun each morning, went out to the sea, and greeted the new day with a smile. These were men who never knew the doctor, had sharp minds even in old age, their hands still firmly held the fishing nets and they lived functional longevity, often working into their 90s. The fishermen's treasure was exactly fish oil, which works similarly to a lubricant for our body: it helps the heart pump blood, keeps the mind fresh, and joints flexible, without it, the joints would be like an old creaking ship. The message that the sea gives us what we need was conveyed to future generations because some gifts of health are too precious to keep to oneself.
