We can never have too many smoothie options
There are so many smoothie recipes, but we can never have too many. 🙂 This is a meal that provides some of the nutrients we need every day. It’s a nutrition bomb: Blueberies: contain Fe and other essential minerals. I picked these myself in the local forest. They grow on rich soil on forest floor …

These micronutrients usually exist in complexes and thus cannot be obtained from a single dietary source. Functionally, vitamins are involved in various metabolic …
80/10/10 diet and lifestyle
First let’s explain what these numbers mean, they represent a ratio our diet should consist of: 80 % carbohydrates – 10 % protein – 10 % fatty acids. Consisting mostly or entirely of raw food (that’s an individual’s choice). With 80/10/10 it’s not about renunciation. Nutrition is a constant effort and is easy to missinterpret …
