Nutrition

Nutrition is a very complex subject, and it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of it due to the mass of information. On the following page, you will learn some basics to help you develop a certain understanding of nutrition. We provide information on the various nutrients, introduce you to the nutritional rules of the German Nutrition Society, show you how to calculate your energy requirements and explain intolerances. We would also like to give you suggestions on how you can find out more about the topic in the longer term. We have tested apps and podcasts and give you tips on books and blogs.

Insider knowledge

Eat slowly and consciously. Take time to eat and prepare your food and try not to eat in front of a screen, but to be aware of what you are eating. Also make sure you drink enough water during the day and eat fruit and vegetables every day. It's also best to make a plan of what you want to eat over the next few days and shop for it. This will make it easier for you to eat more consciously and healthily in a time when you are always in the fridge.
