Buying healthy foods
We recommend buying local fruit and vegetables if possible. They often have more time to mature and therefore have a more intense flavour and higher nutrient content. Of course, buying products grown in your own country and according to the seasonal calendar can also have a positive effect on the price and environmental impact.
If you follow the seasonal calendar, you can indulge in asparagus, for example, which is a good source of selenium, from spring until June. The summer months is the time for berries and local carrots, which are true provitamin A bombs, are available until autumn and can be bought at the weekly market and supermarket!
Various types of cabbage such as kale, cauliflower or white cabbage are typical, domestic winter vegetables that are rich in antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C and E, and should therefore be integrated into our recipes often.
There should always be something spicy to eat, especially in winter! This is because spiciness really heats us up and the mucous membranes are better supplied with blood – making life difficult for pathogens. So feel free to go for peppers, chilis and the like!
Red onions are particularly rich in antioxidants and also have a nice sharpness. In general, all types of onions are said to have an antibacterial effect!
Have you heard of the aronia berry? This small fruit is rich in vitamins and valuable phytochemicals and is considered an ideal radical scavenger thanks to its high ORAC values! Try the delicious aronia kale smoothie!
