Nutrition & Vitality

Vitality is a synonym for life force and a zest for life¹. According to Wikipedia, vitality is defined as: “the functionality and mental state typical for the gender and age”². But how you stay vital at every age? A combination of healthy nutrition, adequate movement and food supplements as needed can be important parts of the puzzle in preventing illnesses and are a basic requirement for a vital life.

Healthy nutrition as the ABCs for a vital life

Balanced nutrition is the basic pillar of a fit lifestyle. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung [German Association for Nutrition] refers to 10 rules that constitute the basis of a healthy diet according to current scientific standards:³

Enjoy a variety of foods
Fruits and vegetables: “5 per day”
Choose whole grains
Supplement the selection with animal-based foods
Use healthy fats
Be sparing with sugar and salt
Drink water, preferably
Prepare food considerately
Eat and enjoy with intent
Pay attention to your weight and keep moving

There are also many types of diets that support healthy nutrition. In Ayurveda (“wisdom from long life”), for instance, one lives according to the motto, “You are what you digest”. You only eat what your body can metabolize. Preferably, three cooked meals are eaten per day and the meals, suitable for the body type, are refined with spices that promote digestion. Between the meals, fasting breaks during which only warm water is consumed, ensure optimum digestion and detoxification. This way, the body doesn’t have to constantly expend energy for digestion and can invest it in other activities. Eating late at night is taboo according to the Ayurvedic way of life and a fasting period of at least 13 hours ensures relaxing sleep and energy for the next day.

Vegetarianism and veganism are other types of conscious diets. In addition to ethical considerations, not eating animal-based products also offers health benefits. One requirement is, of course, largely foregoing heavily processed products and learning about nutrient requirements and replacing proteins with plant-based alternatives like legumes, nuts and soy products. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics confirms that “well-planned vegetarian diets, including veganism, are healthy and appropriate for nutritional physiology and can offer health benefits with respect to preventing and treating certain illnesses”.⁴

An examination of the blue zones of the world (in these regions, people live longer than the general average) showed that a primarily vegetarian diet, high in legumes, is prevalent. The absence of stress and an intact social life also appear to have a positive impact on the vital ageing process.⁵

Closing supply gaps with food supplements

In today’s hectic world, many people find it difficult to consume all of the necessary nutrients through their diet. This is where food supplements come into play and can offer valuable support.

On the one hand, it’s about rectifying nutrient deficiencies. Stress, a hectic lifestyle, environmental factors and eating habits can result in us not always consuming adequate amounts of all of the necessary nutrients. Food supplements offer a simple way to rectify these deficiencies and ensure that our bodies receive all of the necessary nutrients.

On the other hand, specific needs can be covered by the targeted intake of food supplements. Whether the objective is to support the immune system, strengthen bones and joints, promote heart health or improve cognitive function, there is a wide range of food supplements aimed at supporting our vitality and health.

There are many health claims that can be used in the “vitality” segment. Here is a small selection:

Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function
Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function
Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones
Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism

…

Good nutrition and the right food supplements can form the basis of a healthy and vital life!

Movement as an important component

In addition to healthy eating habits, adequate movement is an important component of a vital lifestyle. For adults between 18 and 64, WHO recommends: At least 150 minutes of moderately intense activity and muscle strength training at least twice a week. According to WHO, this reduces the risk of developing certain diseases, e.g., cardiopulmonary diseases, diabetes and depression.⁶

If we pay attention to the 3 aspects, “healthy nutrition”, “rectify nutrient deficiencies with food supplements” and “adequate movement”, we can make a valuable contribution to our health. As a contract-based manufacturer of high-quality food supplements, we hope you were able to delve deeper into the topic of “Nutrition & Vitality” with this product range and understand what can positively impact our health.
