Our Active & fit-Tips for you
Wholegrain against high blood pressureWhole grain reduces blood pressure, Scottish scientists state. Who e.g. eats whole grain in the form of oat flakes in the morning, lowers the systolic blood pressure, the pressure with which the blood is pressed into the arteries. As a consequence, the risk of heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure decreases tremendously.
Sweet as sugar and a quick source of energy: dates are perfect for snacking. They contain almost no fat, are lower in calories than sweets or nuts and, with a potassium content twice as high as that of a banana, provide a real energy boost.
Getting fit and do something good for the environment? Plogging makes exactly this possible! Plogging is a combination of the words jogging and the Swedish ‘plocka upp’ (eng. pick up). Runners pick up litter along their path as they are jogging. Not only the surrounding benefits from that but so does your body: Due to the continuous bending, squatting and stretching, plogging is a perfect full-body training.
