Healthy lifestyle and ecological life is not an adventure - it's merely a challenge.

Maybe you have already read it somewhere in the forum, besides my daily exercises a healthy nutrition is important to me.

I even convinced my husband and our boys of that some time ago. 

My nutrition has no chemical ingredients, nutritional supplements or finished products. When traveling it is sometimes more difficult to find suitable restaurants that cook everything from scratch. I then ask the waiter or the chef himself, if possible.

When buying the ingredients I try to get as many regional products as possible. I only buy meat from two local butchers. Both get their animals from local farmers. I buy grain and flour directly from a small mill, which buys the grain exclusively from farmers in their region. Very rarely, I take less than 50 kg per purchase.

Since I like to bake a lot with whole grain flour, I bought a small grain mill. It is important to know that flour starts to degrade immediately after grinding. My freshly ground whole grain flour tastes better, smells better and is healthier.

Many other foods like eggs, honey, milk, vegetables, fruits, we buy directly from a farmer. We grow some of the fruit and vegetables in our own garden. Of course, there are a few exceptions. Citrus fruits, bananas or kiwis do not grow in our region. 😄

I do not like it when food is transported across the country, even though it is produced in the immediate vicinity. In addition, I like to buy organic food.

Why am I telling all this?

Everything started with a better diet. The examination of the subject has made me more sensitive myself. Where do my groceries come from, how are they produced? How harmful is industrial agriculture with all its insecticides and pesticides?

I have set myself the goal of reducing my own negative impact on our environment as good as possible. It is also my concern to sensitize others a little bit.

I have to start if I want to change something.
