  1. January diet

    Well, over the holidays properly eaten? Then it's time to purge and get rid of the excess pounds.
    Our Tip: Try a detox day with rice. The small white grain is rich in calcium and ensures that toxins quickly get out of our body.

    It's that simple:

    Cook a large cup of rice with twice the amount of water. When it is ready, divide it into three portions. Eat your rice breakfast with stewed apples. It will be delicious with a little Cinnamon*. For lunch I have steamed vegetables and in the evening another vegetable or apple.
    Very important: Drink plenty of fluids. Preferably still water and unsweetened herbal tea.

  2. Fruit and vegetables in January

    Seasonal food keeps us fit. The food has not been transported long distances and is therefore richer in vitamins. When you go shopping, make sure that the food is local. Ideally, you should buy from a farmer at the market.
    In January, it is mainly many different types of cabbage and root vegetables that keep us fit and healthy.

    Vegetables you should definitely eat in January:

    • Chinese cabbage
    • Potatoes

  3. January movement

    The mountain is calling! Get out into the sun and fresh air. Skiing and snowboarding are the ideal whole-body workout. You train your legs, buttocks and upper body. Although you are only skiing downhill, your whole body is in action. And this is also noticeable. You can burn up to 400 calories per hour.

  4. Good mood in January

    It is cold and dark. The best thing we can do now is sweat. Take a steam bath or sauna once a week. This strengthens your immune system and makes us more stress resistant. Also pre-programmed: A restful and deep sleep. But be careful: you should only go to the sauna if you are healthy. If you have a cold, you should first get fit again. The heat puts additional stress on your body.
