Was uns wirklich nährt

Nutrition is much more than just the intake of calories: it provides the body with energy, brings flavor and enjoyment, can prevent and heal diseases, and is a communal experience and ritual. However, since the rise of fast food and convenience products, our food has become increasingly deficient in vital nutrients and one-dimensional, contributing to diet-related diseases such as arthritis, obesity, and allergies.

Psychiatrist and nutrition expert Gregor Hasler explains how we can practically re-infuse our food with life and reclaim its healing effects, drawing on current research findings and insights from spiritual traditions. The good news: with just a few measures, the body can be brought back into balance. Mindful eating slows the rise of blood sugar levels. (Intermittent) fasting not only regulates weight but also improves concentration. Unprocessed foods, whose matrix has not been destroyed, strengthen the microbiome.

Gregor Hasler encourages us to choose food wisely and eat it in a healthy way. After all, we can break the vicious cycle between inner emptiness and empty calories and find the path to abundance, where we connect with ourselves and the world.
