To get to the point quickly ... the human body does not function properly if it does not ingest fats. But you have to eat healthy fats. In this article, I will take you into the world of VET. Fat is healthy Fat is an important energy source for our body. It contains vitamins A, D and E, but also important fatty acids that our body needs. Our brains, eyes, muscles and immune system in particular need fats or fatty acids. Part of these fats are partly produced by our body itself, but a number of important fatty acids can only be obtained through food intake.

In many of my articles and in articles by other authors who write about fitness, nutrition and sports, the word "metabolism" is used. Apparently, it is something that is important to us. Therefore an article in which I try to explain it as simply as possible. Metabolism according to Wikipedia Metabolism or metabolism (from Greek: μεταβολισμός "metabolism" = change or conversion) is the whole of biochemical processes that take place in cells and organisms. Enzymes play a central role in the conversions. A distinction is usually made between the build-up of substances using energy (anabolism) and the breakdown of more complex substances that release energy (catabolism). Source In other words ... it is also known as 'metabolism' and it ensures that our nutrients are broken down and converted into energy. The energy that we can then use to move, breathe and keep warm, for example. It actually ensures that our body continues to function. What it does for your bod...

Many people think that oatmeal is healthy for breakfast, but is that so? Oatmeal is full of dietary fiber and it is associated with various health effects such as lowering LDL Cholesterol and even fat loss. Yet oatmeal can be at least as bad as bread or a croissant. I figured out how you can take advantage of an oatmeal breakfast without the bad side effects and also share some delicious recipes with you. But first ... oatmeal in a nutshell To make a healthy choice and to understand why one is healthy and the other is not, it is good to know how oatmeal is produced. Because 'oatmeal' comes from the cereal 'oats'. Oatmeal is the germinated (shell removes) version of oats and if only the shell is removed you speak of 'long-boiling' or 'whole grain' oatmeal. You don't usually find this type of oatmeal at the supermarket, but at a health food store. In addition, you also have the cut oatmeal, which is broken or cut into two parts. The advantage of this i...

After my sister-in-law and best friend had both enthusiastically recommended me the Hello Fresh box, I could no longer ignore it. So hop on to the Hello Fresh site to order one. I was somewhat suspicious about it (as with almost all new things). Would it really be that fresh, tasty and "easy" ?! Well, I can tell you: I'm up! No worries about your dinner With a man at home who wants to eat low-carb / free food, a toddler son of 2.5 who decides on the spot whether he wants to eat and myself as an anti-stampot woman, it is really a drama in the supermarket every week. How in heaven's name do I put together a menu for the three of us in which I also mainly cook healthily? Hello Fresh offers me a solution: no longer putting together a menu, but simply receiving it in a beautiful booklet with accompanying ingredients. Freshly delivered at home In the supermarket it is quite a hassle to get everything together for such a great meal. And when my son interrupts my search for t...

There is probably no peanut butter in your kitchen cupboard either. Peanut butter is integrated in the fixed spreads so that it is almost unthinkable that someone does not like it. If you have never been to a health food store, then you may not be aware that there are many more types of nut pastes that are very tasty but also very healthy. Think cashew nut paste , almond paste and mixed types of nut paste , which are now gaining popularity. Not least because they are super healthy. These pastas are all made from pure nuts as opposed to peanut butter, which only consists of peanuts. And peanuts are not covered by the healthy nuts, they are legumes. Another reason why people who follow a Paleo diet do not eat peanut butter, but they do eat nut pastes. I personally love nut pastes! Delicious in taste, filling and also good for me. The price of a pure nut paste is often higher than that of peanut butter, but it tastes so much purer and healthier that it is worth it to me. I like to eat it ...

The grapefruit and lose weight grapefruit lose weightGrapefruit with sugar, just like in the old days ... Not everyone is a fan of grapefruits, the taste is a combination of bitter and sour and you really have to love that. I remember that in the past we dipped the grapefruit in granulated sugar ... The fruit is a cross between an orange and a grapefruit. Did you know that a grapefruit contains no less than half the daily amount of vitamin C, also a good reason to add the grapefruit to your diet. Naringenin, an important substance! The bitter taste of the fruit is caused by the substance Naringenin. The substance belongs to the group Phytonutrients. In addition to the bitter taste, the substance has an even more important function, namely the stimulation of fat burning. Naringenin reacts to fat molecules that will burn faster due to the substance. Your metabolism also speeds up, this causes your body to burn the fat instead of storing it as an energy reserve. That is one of the reasons...

If you know my recipes then you know that I am someone of quick and easy. Spending hours in the kitchen is really not my thing, I prefer to cook with as few pans and actions as possible. That is also one of the reasons that I often opted for pre-cut vegetables. The vegetable mix bags are usually well varied and it saves me a lot of cutting. Now I have to say that that was not the only reason. I also often have a fight with good kitchen tools. From home I am quite a bit economical and spend a lot of money on knives, for example. The knives in my kitchen drawer have been around for years and I don't notice that they are becoming more and more blunt. It is even so that (so far) I do not cut chicken fillet with a knife but with a (specially purchased) scissors into pieces. Because with a knife I always thought it was such a hassle. Hubby always finds this type of frugality very irritating because he wants good things for the kitchen. Incidentally, not only for the kitchen, this applies...

Are you already familiar with "green powder juices"? Normally I choose, depending on my energy level, for a specific nutritional supplement or a combination of several. Sometimes in the form of capsules, such as the Ashwaganda, or in tablets with, for example, Spirulina, but I also sometimes have wheatgrass or powdered algae, not really tasty but for a good cause say…. I had already tried a test bag from the Green Juice, but to really feel the effect Super Foodies allowed me to test a large pot of their Green Juice , good for 1 month of health!

L'Amorigen restaurant in Cala Nova, Ibiza deserves some extra attention! Looking for fine restaurants in Ibiza, which serve real, pure and healthy food, we ended up at restaurant L'Amorigen during our last vacation.

Stress because everything sounded good, both the choices for breakfast and lunch ... At that moment we de...

A daily dose of legumes lowers LDL cholesterol in the blood, and therefore probably the risk of cardiovascular disease. North American scientists present that Monday in the scientific journal Canadian Medical Association Journal. They did a meta-study in which 26 studies with a total of 1,037 subjects were combined. The analysis shows that a daily dose of 180 grams of legumes lowers LDL cholesterol by 5 percent. LDL cholesterol is also known as 'bad cholesterol', and the researchers think that this decrease also means a 5 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease. The scientists state that there is now evidence for prescribing legumes such as lentils, peas and chickpeas. These vegetables were already recommended, but according to them without too many reasons.
