    Balance is the key

    Advice for a healthy lifestyle

    In my opinion, the key to leading a healthy life is striking the right balance. I think that this is true for all aspects of life, but that it is especially true when it comes to nutrition. Personally, I do not like thinking of it in terms of healthy or unhealthy. I believe that you have to find out for yourself what is right for you and what isn’t. Finding this out is an ongoing process, of course: A process that you shouldn’t rush.

    There is no healthy or unhealthy

    Enjoy your food, whether it is pizza or a salad. Food is supposed to taste good, bring people together, and deliver what our bodies need.

    Mindful eating is not dieting

    Being mindful about the food you eat is not the same thing as dieting. Actually, it is more about an attitude towards life — a way of life. It surely does not mean that you must forego everything and go hungry. It is better to listen to your body and its needs. Your body knows best what it needs.

    Listen to your body

    Give your body what it needs. On some days, you might need more, and on others, less. When I really want or need something sweet, I eat something sweet. Don’t believe the hype: Sweets are not always unhealthy.

    Organization

    Every conscious effort to change your diet requires some organization. Change like that does not always happen fast or work right away. But you’ll see: Once you’ve gotten started, it will get easier every day you stick with it.

    Routine

    I love routines. Especially my morning routine is vital for me. Since developing the habit of consciously preparing my breakfast and taking time to eat it, I’ve been starting my days in a more relaxed manner with far more energy. Generally, I try eating three proper meals a day, while sometimes adding a snack here and there. This routine and the regularity of my food consumption have helped improve my digestion and have also helped me develop more structured days.

    Of course, routines are and must be as individual as we are. Whether you love mornings or hate them, try to develop habits that work for you and not against you.

    Creativity

    When it comes to cooking, there is much room for creativity. Have no fear and dare to experiment a little while preparing your food. Experimenting a bit will bring some excitement into your daily food life. Maybe there are some special ingredients that you’ve heard of but have never tried? Give it a try. Find your very own new must-have recipe!

    Balance

    In German, we have the phrase rainbow the plate. Try bringing this phrase to life while preparing your food, especially when preparing your main meals. Make sure you have some carbs, proteins, and fats in there. Also, don’t leave out vitamins, minerals, and the like if you want to get a truly incredible, colorful rainbow.

    Preparation and planning

    Sometimes you may find yourself in front of an empty fridge with a stomach screaming bloody murder and no ideas in your head. To make sure this doesn’t happen to me, I have started writing down roughly what I plan to eat over the course of the week at the beginning of each week. After completing that list, I write a corresponding shopping list which I stick to for that week to make sure I do not buy unnecessary things. Obviously, this does not always work out. Sometimes a business dinner or a visit gets in the way. Still, it helps a lot.

    Storage

    I prefer cooking more than one serving when I cook and saving time and money in the process. For this reason, I keep many reusable food containers and storage bags for the fridge and freezer in my kitchen.

    BREAKFAST

    CARROT PANCAKES

    1 serving · 10 minutes preparation time · 20 minutes cooking time

    What you need

    60 g spelt wholemeat flour

    1 carrot (grated)

    2 tsp baking soda

    1 banana

    sweetener of your choice (for this recipe, I use coconut blossom syrup)

    1 small pinch of cinnamon

    a dash of oat milk

    some coconut oil

    toppings of your choice

    How it’s done

    Start by thoroughly mixing the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cinnamon) in a bowl.

    Mash the banana with a fork and mix with the grated carrot and the coconut blossom syrup. At the same time, add the oat milk until you have a relatively thick batter.

    Grease a nonstick pan with a little coconut oil and cook the pancakes one by one. Use about two to three tablespoons of the batter for each pancake. Flip when you see small bubbles on the surface.

    TAKE NOTE: ALWAYS COOK PANCAKES AT RATHER LOW HEAT TO ENSURE THAT THEY COOK ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

    Garnish with a variety of toppings like nuts or berries.

    A hint

    The pancakes taste best in combination with homemade
