7 fatal mistakes around nutritional supplements part 2

7 fatal mistakes with dietary supplements

A few weeks ago, we went over some of the mistakes made with supplements. We reported that impatience and misinformation are often at the root of the problem, that there is no “best” nighttime supplement, and that both price and trends can be irrelevant.

We’ve revisited this important topic for you and today we’ll show you three more points to watch out for.

* Source: German Food Association

Food supplements are not pain pills

Dietary supplements are not remedies for acute symptoms such as headaches. Nutritional supplements replenish your stores so the body can right itself. Nature itself is then at work. There is nothing more ingenious than the intelligence of our own body. The purpose of nutritional supplements is to support this process so that it can function optimally.

For your sake, say goodbye to the idea that supplements taken individually will make you feel better. It doesn’t. For example: calcium is a prerequisite for strong bones. But this does not work without vitamin D, because vitamin D controls this build-up in the first place. And without vitamin K2, the calcium does not reach the bones because K2 has to take over this transport. Without K2, there is a risk of calcium calcifying the blood vessels because the calcium you take in isolation is so deposited in the blood vessels. Vitamin D, on the other hand, can only function if enough vitamin A and magnesium are present.

The blood check at the doctor does not bring enlightenment

You do a complete blood count at the doctor’s office and you know what nutrients are lacking. You then only have to get these from the pharmacy and you have solved the problem. That would really be too good to be true. Except, unfortunately, that doesn’t work in reality. In fact, only a few vitamins, minerals in the blood can be determined in such a way that they really allow a solid statement about the actual situation in the cells. Often only a snapshot is shown, and this can vary from day to day, influenced by countless factors from everyday life. It is true that if there is a major deficiency, it is usually discovered.

Another point is that, fortunately, more and more young doctors are becoming interested in nutritional supplements, but this discipline is unfortunately only a marginal part of their training. This is referred to as the field of orthomolecular medicine. So if you want to get advice from a doctor about nutritional supplementation, find one who knows about orthomolecular medicine.

Be critical

The food industry explains to us why the new XY preparation is the absolute ultimate. The pharmaceutical industry, on the other hand, has a paper written that says dietary supplements are hokum and should be avoided. Both instances take a one-sided stance and both represent their very own profit strategy. The former must sell, the latter must displace the competition.

When you hear such apparently “colored” information in the future, prick up your ears and be skeptical. You don’t always see at first glance where the information originally came from and then marvel at who is putting it out there. We as consumers are often misled in this way. Therefore, always remain vigilant if the scattered information seems too one-dimensional to you.

Conclusion

If you want to make it easy for yourself, you trust the opinion of others or consume what is fashionable at the moment. However, this usually goes wrong because everyone has a different lifestyle and therefore different needs for their ingested food. Of course, we all need adequate magnesium, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and so on. But there is no way around dealing with your own nutrition in order to find out what you need. When you do this, always remember:

Food supplements only have the right effect when they are embedded in a holistic, healthy diet.
The quality of nutritional supplements is quite crucial
Food supplements do not replace a healthy lifestyle
A good product always covers all the vitamins & co. that the body needs on a daily basis. Depending on the definition, this is around 50 pieces.

Boost growth hormone – this is how it works

23. February 2021 by Viptamin

Boost growth hormone naturally

Today, let’s talk about one of your body’s most important hormones, and what it can do for you,

:

A hormone that determines how you feel on a daily basis, whether you have power and whether you are fat or thin. The growth hormone is a veritable Sleeping Beauty in men and women of “a certain age”.

The fact is that our internal hormone cocktail changes throughout our lives. The two good hormones drop and the two bad ones rise. You can measure that.

The two good hormones are growth hormone and testosterone. To make things a bit dramatic, just like in a fairy tale, there are of course the bad guys: Insulin and cortisol. The art now is to keep the two good ones high and the two bad ones low throughout our lives.

The growth hormone decreases in the course of life

Yet this hormone is nothing special at all. We all have it in our bodies. When we grow during puberty, the levels in our blood are around 30, 40, even 50. But that wears off. By the time you’re 30, you have far less, and by the time you’re 60, you have virtually nothing left in your body.

The growth hormone level does not have to drop

We know from Prof. Johannes Huber from Vienna that the pituitary gland still produces as much growth hormone in old age as it does in youth. It’s just not being released and secreted because we’re not stimulating the gland properly. Consequence: the body dozes off and grows old.

THE ORIGINAL VIPTAMIN
PURE OFFER
since 2011

This is how you can stimulate the growth hormone in a sustainable and natural way

So our aging process is homemade because we no longer stimulate our bodies. We just don’t release the hormones and grow old because of it. If we can do it without shots and pills, alone…

through proper stimulation, such as exercise and diet, to achieve the hormone levels of youth even in old age, then we would have won.

To help your body release growth hormone

Fill up your empty protein tanks. Then you have enough of the amino acids that are necessary for the production of growth hormones. We recommend our
Organic Protein.
Make sure you have a comprehensive supply of vital substances. A balanced diet is not enough for this nowadays.
Add what is no longer in our food. For example, if vitamin B6 is missing, you produce 50% less growth hormone. Also important: calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc. We have just the thing for you:

Viptamin Complete Forte
Exercise. Those who exercise have more of the body’s own fountain of youth.
Lose excess pounds. Then you gain an increase in growth hormone. Overweight people produce less growth hormone. Significantly less! If you want to lose weight, you will find

here

more information.
Don’t keep tempting insulin with high carbohydrate foods. As long as the blood sugar level is high, the growth hormone remains inactive.
And another thing: alcohol reduces the release of HGH by up to 70%.

Growth hormone does all that for you:

Essential for normal growth
Fat loss and muscle building
Improvement of the skin texture
Increase vitality and sexuality
Better memory
Mood improvement
Increased sleep quality
Has a positive effect especially on muscles, liver, bones and kidneys
Increased uptake of amino acids
Supports the immune defense

Test report: Dr. Dirk Klante tests Viptamin

30. March 202123. February 2021 by Viptamin

Test report: Dr. Dirk Klante tests Viptamin Komplett Forte

Dr. nat. Dirk Klante first studied chemistry and earned his doctorate in it, and has worked in scientific research for many years. He is the author of the book “Mir gehts gut.”, which is recommended to anyone who lacks confidence in the scientific basis of the use of vitamins. In his review, he shares his experience with Viptamine Complete Forte.

As a chemist with a doctorate, Dr. Klante found his way to Viptamin through an affliction of his own. Here’s a quote from his book“I’m Fine“…:

“During my childhood, adolescence, and early college years, I was often seriously ill, and eventually threatened with the amputation of a lower leg. Not a pleasant prospect…After a few months of orthodox medical therapy, the situation had actually worsened considerably. In the long run, classical therapy seemed unsuitable to solve my health problems. As a chemist, I was already well aware of the biochemical processes that influence health and disease, so I decided to treat myself. I prescribed myself vitamin and nutritional therapy and experimented with different vitamin and nutrient blends. Due to the high safety and low toxicity of the vitamins, this was not a problem….
Little by little, success came. I never had to take medication again. When my health was restored, my doctor said in retrospect, “I didn’t expect it all to heal again.”

You can’t beat personal experience. You can build on that.
Other books by Dr. Dirk Klante are: Vitamins, the better medicine and Carrot soup instead of cortisone.

Dr. Dirk Klante has tested our Viptamin Komplett Forte extensively in practice and has sent us this test report.

The audit report: Viptamin Complete Forte testing

Test report on Viptamin Komplett Forte by Dr. Dirk Klante

Viptamin Complete Forte: A convenient solution!

The multivitamin Viptamin Complete Forte is very well tolerated and tastes great.
Viptamin Komplett Forte contains the most important vitamins, trace elements, minerals, carotenoids, plant extracts and probiotics in optimal dosages.
Folic acid is contained in the form of methylfolate. This means: Highest bioavailability even in case of genetic enzyme deficiency.
The B vitamins contained in Viptamin Komplett Forte not only correspond to the dosages of a good vitamin B-50-complete, but also exceed it in quantity and quality.
Vitamin B3 is present in the particularly high-quality form inositol hexaniacinate. his is the so-called flush-free variant (no itching, no reddening of the skin as with niacin).
One daily dose of Viptamin Complete Forte contains 200 micrograms of vitamin B12. An optimal condition for a low homocysteine level. You won’t find that in any comparable vitamin supplement.
Viptamin Complete Forte contains tocotrienols, which seem to have the strongest effect of all vitamin E forms. Tocotrienols are found in almost no other vitamin supplement.
It is advisable to divide the daily amount into two portions so that the plasma levels are consistently high throughout the day.

Convince yourself

Dr. Dirk Klante is convinced – and you? If you haven’t tried our advanced Viptamin Complete Forte yet, take the test and gain your own experience.

We have even more products on offer - for all those who strive for optimum health. For example, you can buy our high quality ubiquinol or view all products in the range.

Why patients should not learn about alpha lipoic acid

6. April 202123. February 2021 by Viptamin

Why patients do not learn about alpha lipoic acid

Alpha lipoic acid has been known in medicine for over 40 years.
But patients, unfortunately, know far too little about it.

Detoxification of toxic heavy metals through alpha lipoic acid

Lipoic acid has tremendous abilities to rid the body of harmful substances. There is hardly a better way to protect the liver.

Alpha lipoic acid can bind with metals such as lead, cadmium, copper, arsenic and furthermore to cobalt, nickel and mercury. The toxic heavy metal deposits in membranes and tissues can be mobilized in this way and finally eliminated.

Lipoic acid against age spots? The research group for evolutionary pathobiochemistry at the University of Mainz confirms this. The reason: free radicals disrupt the functioning of the individual cell. If you don’t have enough antioxidants to protect against them, breakdown products accumulate as brown slag in the cell and cause it to die. In older people, you can see this in the form of age spots. Lipoic acid has proven to be a particularly helpful antioxidant against age spots because it is the only antioxidant that is both water and fat soluble.

Only a few patients experience alpha lipoic acid

Few health professionals will tell you about thepossibilities with alpha lipoic acid. It is mainly naturopaths and alternative practitioners who know this substance. The reason: lipoic acid is not part of the medical training.

Since lipoic acid cannot be patented and is cheap, the pharmaceutical industry has no interest in many people finding out about it. Because she can’t make money with such cheap, strong natural remedies. The money is made in the pharmaceutical industry with patented drugs that are used against symptoms instead of causes.

Alpha lipoic acid: look for the natural form

Viptamine Alpha Lipoic Acid is 100% natural and vegan , also without sugar or artificial sweeteners, no flavors, preservatives or excipients, free of lactose and gluten and not tested on animals.

Please compare prices and quality when buying lipoic acid. Specifically compare how much lipoic acid you are actually getting per capsule and if it is 100% the natural form. If the form isn’t on the package, it’s probably the cheaper, artificial form.A single capsule of Alpha Lipoic Acid from Viptamine contains 350mg of pure lipoic acid. We recommend 3 capsules daily – that is 1050mg daily. Remember: Only high-dose alpha lipoic acid has orthomolecular quality and thus the full health benefits.

For people who want to support their health in a natural way, Alpha Lipoic Acid by Viptamin can be the perfect solution for continued health into old age and lifelong vitality.natural

Food supplements yes, but necessarily without harmful additives

6. April 202123. February 2021 by Viptamin

Food supplements yes - but absolutely without harmful additives

You can do a lot of good with the right supplements. However, if the supplements contain harmful additives, as is often the case, they do more harm than good.

Harmful Additives in food supplements

Checking whether a food supplement contains harmful additives is not that complicated. Take a look at the ingredients:

Whether it is capsules, tablets or powder, whether it is sports nutrition or nutritional supplements for pregnant women: It is worthwhile in any case to check before buying vital substances whether the product contains the following harmful additives:

Magnesium stearate (E572)
Titanium dioxide (E171)

Hazardous additive No 1: Magnesium stearate (E572)

Normally you take vitamins and minerals to strengthen your strengthen your immune system. However, in case you are taking vital substances that contain magnesium stearate, you end up doing the opposite as you are consuming large amounts of chalk as a filler.

Magnesium stearate is now widely used in the food industry as an excipient in the manufacture of tablets. This chalk filler stimulates your intestines to form a biofilm, a kind of slimy lining that creates an effective barrier against absorption against all nutrients. So the vital substances never arrive where they are needed.

Dangerous additive No 2: Titanium dioxide (E171)

Titanium dioxide (E171) is a white dye derived from titanium, a metal that is toxic to humans. Titanium is normally used for bicycles, golf clubs, ship propellers and for dental implants or hip joints.

Surely you do not want to have harmful additives in your dietary supplements.

Well then?

Unfortunately, many dietary supplements are enriched with magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide and other harmful substances. You want only the best for your body?
Here you will find a multivitamin that meets our strict requirements:

All vital substances in optimal dosage and 100 percent free of all additives.

We have even more products on offer - for all those who strive for optimum health. For example, you can buy our high quality ubiquinol or view all products in the range.

Alpha lipoic acid – indications, treatment, side effects

18. March 202123. February 2021 by Viptamin

Alpha lipoic acid - indications, treatment, side effects

Alpha lipoic acid is a fatty acid containing sulfur. In its natural (R) form, it occurs as a coenzyme in the power plants of every human cell (called mitochondria) and plays an important role in providing energy to the body. Since we only absorb a small amount of alpha lipoic acid through foods like spinach, potatoes, and red meat, researchers recommend extra intake.

Areas of application

Alpha Lipoic Acid is as.
Food supplement
available. Many supplements are synthetic and contain a mixture of R- and S- alpha lipoic acid. The naturally occurring form R-alpha lipoic acid is decisively better absorbed. This natural form is also available as a supplement. Alpha lipoic acid supplements are rapidly absorbed, metabolized and excreted.

Because of their short residence time in the body, lipoic acid supplements should therefore be taken in doses throughout the day. The intake of 3 x 350mg oral dose is ideal. As with vitamin C, high doses are much more effective when given throughout the day. Oral doses can reduce oxidative stress. Basically, lipoic acid supplements act as effective antioxidants.

alpha lipoic acid - why is it so important?

Unlike other antioxidants, lipoic acid is both fat and water soluble. Thus, it can protect the more watery cell areas, blood and extracellular space as well as the fatty cell parts (e.g. the cell walls, membranes), lipoproteins in the blood or also the fatty nerve sheaths from oxidation.

Better the best quality than a cheap product

Vigilance is required here. Alpha Lipoic Acid by Viptamin contains 100 capsules with 350 mg lipoic acid each. The package price is €39.70. For this price you get 35 grams of natural alpha lipoic acid. Converted, the price per gram of lipoic acid in this case is therefore 1.13 €.

Significantly cheaper offers are also available on the market. The current cheapest offer is €16.80 per pack. However, if you look closely, you will notice that the cheap package only contains 60 capsules with 200 mg lipoic acid each. I.e. for 16,80 € you get 12 grams of (artificial!) lipoic acid. Converted, the price per gram of lipoic acid in the “cheap offer” is therefore 1.40 €. In addition, this is inferior artificial lipoic acid, which is sold here in reality significantly more expensive than the high-quality agent of Viptamin.
Note: Also with alpha lipoic acid applies: Who buys cheap, buys twice.

Now the natural Buy Alpha Lipoic Acid by Viptamin!

Chemical structure

Alpha lipoic acid contains 2 sulfur atoms that can be reversibly oxidized and reduced. In addition to its antioxidant properties, alpha lipoic acid is a co-factor for several essential enzymes. There are two optical isomers of alpha lipoic acid that have different properties:

R- Alpha lipoic acid
S- alpha lipoic acid

The term “optical isomers” refers to one of the main differences between the two forms: they direct polarized light in opposite directions. Chemically, they are identical and can only be separated with difficulty. But such molecules are mirror images of each other, like the right and left hands of a pair of gloves.
When alpha lipoic acid is made in the lab, the result is a 50/50 mix of the R and S forms. However, in living systems, optical isomers usually occur in only one form.

Why R-alpha lipoic acid is better than S-alpha lipoic acid

Most (less expensive) alpha lipoic acid supplements consist of a small amount of R(+) alpha lipoic acid (the natural, endogenous form) and often over 90% S(-) alpha lipoic acid (the synthetic isomer). The difference between the two alpha lipoic acid forms is their three-dimensional structure:

From the customer’s point of view, a dietary supplement containing pure endogenous R-alpha lipoic acid is therefore preferable to a dietary supplement containing a 1:1 mixture of natural and synthetic alpha lipoic acid.

However, manufacturers and distributors often prefer the L-form because the manufacturing cost of pure R(+) alpha lipoic acid is 11 times higher than the manufacturing cost of a 50-50 mixture of R- and S-form.

Omega 3 fatty acids

6. April 202123. February 2021 by Viptamin

Omega 3 fatty acids

Omega 3 fatty acids are one of the most important components of a healthy and balanced diet.

They are essential substances for the human body and cannot be produced by the body itself. The positive effects of omega 3 fatty acids on the human body are manifold, but the intake of the optimal amount is not always easy.
In this blog post, we’d like to address how getting enough can help you live healthier and better in the short and long term, and what really matters when choosing an omega-3 source.

Advantages of Omega 3

Before science understood what fatty acids were, omega 3 (and omega 6) were referred to as “vitamin F”, because even though the chemistry of the substance was not yet known, it was clear that omega 3 fatty acids were important to the body on an incredible number of levels. From cardiovascular to mental health to the immune system, there are a multitude of positive effects. Here’s an overview:

Omega 3 fatty acids are very important for the normal functioning of our heart function, brain, eyes and several other bodily functions.

What Omega 3 can do for us

Omega 3 fatty acids have a variety of positive effects throughout the body. Numerous studies have been conducted on this subject, and it is clear that Omega 3 – or more precisely the important substances DHA and EPA contained in it – contributes to normal heart function and the maintenance of normal cholesterol levels.
Studies have also found that it keeps triglyceride concentrations in the blood within a normal range, and is also essential in maintaining normal brain function and vision.

Omega 3 fatty acids - where to get them?

There are several ways to take omega 3. In addition to chia seeds, soybeans and other seeds, the valuable fatty acids are particularly abundant in almost all types of fish. However, eating large enough quantities of fish not only quickly becomes monotonous, but also expensive. Fish oil has therefore been established as a cheap and practical method of obtaining the required concentration of omega 3. The oil extracted from fish contains the important omega 3 acids in high concentration and is easy to take in the form of capsules.

Not all omega 3s are created equal

If you know Viptamin, you already know that we pay special attention to the quality of nutritional supplements. We realized that it makes no sense to compromise on our health. That’s why we don’t skimp on raw materials or add unnecessary ingredients. We hold the idea of quality high in order to offer you the best possible product. So even with omega 3 fatty acids, there are a few things to watch out for. That is why we have the Viptamin Purity Law, which applies to all our products.

THE ORIGINAL VIPTAMIN
PURE OFFER
since 2011

In addition to our purity standards, there are other factors to which we pay special attention for the quality of our fish oil.

EPA and DHA

EPA and DHA are two acids found in omega 3. However, it strongly depends on the quality of the fish oil in which concentration both substances are present. Only when your body gets enough of both can the effects described above come into play. This is the only way your health can benefit from fish oil.

Heavy metal contamination

The issue of heavy metal contamination in fish is becoming increasingly present. Through the water, fish ingest lead and mercury, which can be harmful to our health. While many other fish oils do not pay attention to this, we make a conscious effort to avoid this problem for our fish oil. How do we go about this? Firstly, our fish come from the particularly clean waters of the South American Pacific. On the other hand, we also make sure to use only small cold-water fish such as anchovies and sardines. Large fish eat small fish and the load of heavy metals increases accordingly. In small fish the load is particularly small – the optimal basis for our high-quality fish oil.

In addition to our purity standards, there are other factors to which we pay special attention for the quality of our fish oil.

EPA and DHA

Heavy metal contamination

As you can see, omega 3 fatty acids are particularly important for your body. It is possible to absorb it through food, but it is laborious and expensive. The intake via dietary supplement in the form of fish oil is practical and significantly cheaper, but with many suppliers does not bring the desired effect or can even be bad for you with high pollution. We therefore recommend taking Viptamin Omega 3. For about 1,30€ per day it makes an important contribution to a healthy life. Try it out!

Minimum or optimum – How do you want to be supplied?

6. April 202123. February 2021 by Viptamin

Minimum

or

Optimum

Am I really well supplied with vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids?

Could it be that I am only provided with the minimum instead of the optimum?

The short answer up front is that minimal care is much more common than you think.

This article wants to give you context and experience and encourage you to find your own answer to these two questions.

Are you satisfied with the minimum when it comes to providing your body with vitamins?
Don’t want to make up your own mind about whether you have enough vitamins? Then you’re in the wrong place.

Or are you curious and interested in how your health might feel when you are optimally supplied with vitamins?
Then I have something for you.

To be courageous in admitting own experiences and to deal with new knowledge

Oscar Wilde said, “Life, that is the rarest thing in the world. Most people merely exist.” Written 150 years ago, the quote is nevertheless red-hot and applies especially to the good supply of nutrients.

Many have already realized that not all vegetables are the same and are confronted with the uncomfortable question: How do I get my nutrients now? When it then comes to dietary supplements, people like to discuss and philosophize. “No, too unnatural,” is often the common response to the question of whether they are suitable for filling gaps in supply.

My answer to that instead is: Try it out. Don’t let the media or society tell you what is good and what is bad, what is natural and what is not. You see, even fruits and vegetables have hardly retained anything of their original naturalness, although they are delicious and enjoy the image of a vitamin bomb. If journalists or critical consumers had not questioned facts, we would now know nothing about many things about which we now shake our heads as a matter of course.

The worst thing is and remains: Not trying anything new and sticking with the old unquestioned opinions . To shake one’s head after the scandalous reportage, but then not to act. This is displacement at the expense of your own health. Allowing your own experiences and trying new things can change things for the better. Even with dietary supplements, I therefore advise personal fact-checking through experience rather than not questioning outdated beliefs. And as with all other things, of course, to trust your senses. You might be saying: Well, of course he sees it that way, because he also wants to sell his products. It’s a nice side benefit but not the main focus of mine. Do you know from which motive my 6 products were created? Because I have searched for outstanding vital substances to improve my own health and have not found any.

So I started to develop them myself. Read more here.

We read the recommendations of the German Nutrition Society(DGE) and consume the daily amount of nutrients recommended as a minimum with a clear conscience. In the most unfortunate case, this fixed value is also confused with a recommended optimum. A fatal misunderstanding for our health. Anyone who takes a closer look at healthy living inevitably asks the question: Is this given minimum in any way sufficient? And do I still need supplements if I go over the minimum? These are valid and proper questions that I want to address in this post.

RDA value

Absolute minimum under ideal conditions

The RDA value is the abbreviation for “Recommended Daily Allowance” and sets a recommended daily maximum amount for essential nutrients. This value differs to some extent even within the EU from country to country. In practice, the RDA says nothing about the amount of vitamins and trace elements we need daily to stay healthy and increase our life expectancy – no, the RDA indicates the minimum standard necessary to avoid developing deficiency symptoms as a young and healthy person. And that’s just in theory. For this amount to be sufficient, this young person should not have any stress, do any sports and never drink alcohol or smoke. And he would have to eat 5 servings of vegetables a day. This may seem unrealistic to you, and in fact it is. This is because the reference study to which, for example, the recommended minimum intake of vitamin C refers, is based on precisely these initial conditions.

The RDA-relevant determination of the minimum amount of vitamin C was carried out by supplying seven men with vitamin C under clinical conditions – that is, without work, typical daily routine, etc. – Vitamin C was supplied to seven men. On the basis of their urine excretions, the saturation was determined and thus a reference value for healthy men could be established. For women, on the other hand, this value was only calculated. Elderly and sick people were not studied, nor were the study participants under normal living conditions.

In other words, for us as people with modern day lives, with average levels of stress, occasional alcohol consumption and possibly still physical ailments, that value doesn’t mean a thing. On the contrary. Even if we wanted to settle for the minimum, the standard given would not be sufficientfor this.

Stress increases nutrient requirements: Our body is dependent on the supply

Whether vitamins or trace elements: every form of stress increases the physical need for nutrients. Nothing else we have with water. If we jog 5 km at a steady pace, we have a noticeably increased need for fluids even then than if our body is working on the back burner. The intake of medication and alcohol or environmental and metabolic stress, stress, age as well as general mental turmoil – all this leads to an additional demand, which is not mapped anywhere with the RDA. But an illustration would also hardly be possible. No study in the world could produce a representative cross-section of the population that would reveal the needs of each individual.
As demanding as this may sound, everyone is well advised to take care of their own optimal nutrient intake. The orientation towards fixed values does not help.

With animals it looks like this: When the brown hare sprints ahead of the fox at 70 km/h, it is using its resources just as we do when we are at peak physical or mental performance. The difference here is that the brown hare produces the vitamin C it needs in its own body. Once he has exhausted himself, his need increases. Production is being boosted. Centuries before, we humans could do the same. This function has been lost to us over time. Today, when deficiency symptoms appear, people go to their family doctor, who in turn usually prescribes something for the symptoms.

So unlike most mammals, we humans have to find a way to provide our bodies with the nutrients they need that they can’t make themselves. If we don’t, he will probably go through this deficiency for some time without us noticing, depending on his age and condition. We’ll still be able to go to work and do occasional sports, and we’ll also be able to cure the odd infection in the winter. All this will be possible for a while without the optimal care. After months, years or decades, however, our cells will no longer be able to withstand the everyday stresses and environmental influences. This opens the way for chronic and almost all known diseases of civilization.

21 perfect food

6. April 202123. February 2021 by Viptamin

Eat strong: These foods will give you more power.

You really don’t need supplements to stay healthy and strong.
If you eat a balanced diet of healthy foods, you won’t need any additional resources.

Nine foods for 130 % more mental strength

You can meet your daily calorie needs through fast food, of course. Fast food provides you with carbohydrates that are quickly processed by the body, providing glucose quickly. If you ever find yourself in a “thinking slump” and need a quick energy boost for your brain, “fast” carbohydrates can help.

In the long run, however, you should treat your brain to better things, namely minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium or phosphorus. Plus vitamins B, E and C as well as secondary plant compounds and omega-3 fatty acids to keep you mentally fit.

Such a balanced diet increases – compared to fast food – your mental performance by over 130%.

The nine foods that will make you more mentally efficient are:

Carrots
Millet
Pears
Nuts
Quark
Cottage cheese
Fat fish
beetroot
Linseed oil

Twelve foods for maximum Muscle power and energy

Rice
Quinoa
Cereal
Eggs

fat and
Protein
are the be-all and end-all as an energy source for your muscles. The body absorbs the proteins and fats more slowly and thus the energy lasts longer. Refrain from further meals for the next 2 hours, otherwise your body will be too busy digesting during exercise and will not be able to perform optimally.

2 hours after exercise, you should eat foods that support the regeneration of the body and muscles. Now you can have a few carbohydrates in addition to proteins, which are quickly converted into energy. These include: Rice, quinoa, cereals, eggs.

Such a diet can increase muscle performance by up to 8%. Building muscle is an important issue for everyone at any age. Everyone needs strong muscles to get through everyday life upright. Especially for older people muscle building is an important topic. This is because muscle mass slowly decreases due to hormonal changes in the second half of life.

For muscles to grow, they need protein. Because the amino acids contained in protein are the building material that make up your muscles. The right combination of protein and carbohydrates contributes significantly to muscle growth and also increases the body’s ability to recover after exercise.

Delicious protein-carbohydrate combinations include: Wholemeal bread with cottage cheese, potatoes with egg, potatoes with cottage cheese, rice with chicken breast, salmon with rice and soy shake with fruit or other protein shakes.

Protein, age and our immune system

6. April 202123. February 2021 by Viptamin

Protein, age and our immune system

As we age, our nutritional needs change: We need a quarter fewer calories, but even more protein than when we were younger. After the age of 50, we lose an average of one to two percent of our muscle mass – every year.

In addition, since the appetite decreases, it makes sense to take a protein powder of the best quality – because you have to take much less of it than of powders of mediocre quality. Not only that: With protein and some strength training, you can build muscle again, even reset your genes to young a bit.

But protein is also indispensable for the immune system: All immunocompetent cells – i.e. those that contribute to the immune system – consist of protein. This means that when protein levels are low, immune cells are also low. An adequate amount of protein in the blood is therefore a condition for a functioning immune system. Why exactly this is so and what else we can do for our immune system, you can find out here.

More protein record

Only a century ago, electricity from the socket and the spread of cars were not a matter of course. Therefore, the average person at that time consumed 4000-6000 calories. Proteins were involuntarily consumed in the amount of food in greater quantities than today. Meanwhile, the need for calories has been reduced to less than half, so that, as a rule, less protein is supplied. This problem can be solved by eating fewer carbohydrate-rich side dishes and choosing more protein-containing foods instead. Unlike carbohydrates, proteins are essential for life. Easier than getting the protein you need through food is to supplement protein.
Many people use protein shakes to lose weight, but they can also help the immune system.

What else can you do for your immune system?

In addition, it is necessary to “ventilate” immunocompetent cells, which is achieved with mild endurance exercise, which significantly increases the immune response. As I’m sure you know, that’s not the only way endurance exercise is good for you – so put on your running shoes or hop on your bike.

It is also important that the amount of the stress hormone cortisol is not increased. Excessive stress hinders immune processes. This is also evident in the fact that organ transplant patients have to take cortisone preparations in order to suppress rejection reactions by the immune system against the foreign organ. If the organ comes from an identical twin, however, this is not necessary. In all other cases it is necessary to lower the immune system with medication. Cortisol is the most potent catabolic hormone, so its amount should be limited. This can be achieved with meditation, relaxation exercises and mild endurance sports.

It should also not be neglected that the immune system is closely associated with the intestine or a healthy intestinal flora. There are more bacteria in the intestine than cells in the entire body. A disturbed intestinal flora often leads to food intolerances, allergies, the so-called leaky gut syndrome, neurodermatitis and other problems. In orthodox medicine, however, the physiological intestinal flora is hardly considered. Although colonoscopies are performed, these do not allow the intestinal flora to be viewed or analyzed.

Moderate endurance sports and a healthy serenity in everyday life help the immune system a lot. If you want to do even more, a good protein powder is a fantastic idea – because our immune system is made of protein. Only when the amount of protein in the body is sufficient, your immune system can function.
