The Challenge
The threatening increase in diseases and medical costs challenges us to act. The astronomical cost of health care is largely to be found in the cause of poor diet and lifestyle !!
Since nutritional science is hardly recognized in medicine, we, as ordinary citizens, are challenged to make ourselves smart. High-tech medicine and drugs sometimes have considerable side effects, which leads to a loss of confidence in conventional medicine. In addition, the symptoms are often treated instead of the cause.
Unfortunately, conventional medicine and the pharmaceutical industry rely largely on prescribing medication. This despite all the side effects. The high potential of nutrition and exercise (see NEWSTART) is largely neglected. Could it be that our health system is ruled by mammon (money)?
6 Pillars of Health
1st Pillar: “Let your food be your remedy!” said Pythagoras, whom we all still know from our school days. Nothing is better than healthy AND tasty food!
2nd Pillar: Naturopathy was shaped by well-known names: Hildegard von Bingen, Paracelsus, Rousseau and Kneipp. They have already developed holistic concepts of life that are still relevant today. Hydrotherapy, exercise therapy, dietetics and order therapy are products that have a positive effect on the health of body, soul and spirit.
. it doesn't have to be such a dedicated swim !!
3rd Pillar: Perhaps you know the pioneers Bircher-Benner, Lothar Wendt, Denis Burkitt and Werner Kollath. They revolutionized nutritional science in their time. Raw vegetable food was suddenly an important issue, as were the disadvantages of excessive consumption of animal protein.
For many, it is a matter of getting used to eating more raw vegetable foods. But it's worth it, because after three weeks at the latest you will love this healthy food.
4th pillar: The FASTFOOD gastronomy was recognized as responsible for many diseases of civilization, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. How about more cooking yourself?
What a nice picture!! Cooking together. Plus quality. Taking time to eat and promoting health together. Wonderful!!
5th Pillar: The work of important personalities for a plant-based diet - such as T. Colin Campbell, John McDougall, Neal Barnard, Michael Greger etc. have indicated that the value of the plant-based diet with its long underestimated phytochemicals and fiber is the basis for represents a healthy diet.
Secondary plant substances and fiber form the basis for a healthy diet. Do not miss that. You will be rewarded for it.
6th Pillar: Hans Diehl and Klas Mildenstein have independently developed concepts that represent far-reaching findings (CHIP). The solutions they were looking for:
Moving from meat to vegetables
from white flour products to whole grain products,
replace french fries with potatoes,
change from burgers to beans,
from lemonade to water.
Then on from global to regional products,
from huge portions to normal,
from eating out to eating in the living room and
from fast food to a leisurely lunch, of course.
How about a basil and garlic pizza? Not suitable just before visiting, but extremely healthy! A good appetite!
