How yeast and bacteria can boost our health
(only available in German)

Build up your resistance with yeast

We are constantly exposed to bacteria and virus attacks. The largest organ in contact with the outside world, however, is not the skin (2 m2 surface area) but the intestines (500 m2 surface area). When we eat, not only valuable nutrients but also bacteria and fungi pass into the intestines. The greater part of our immune system is therefore centred in the intestines. In combination with a healthy intestinal flora, it protects us from the germs which make us ill.

This immune system can be made weaker or stronger. Whereas stress, foreign chemical agents, medication or the wrong foods weaken the immune system the prebiotics contained in food strengthen our immune system. Special yoghurt cultures to strengthen our immune system are well-known. What many people don’t know, however, is that the effective yeast substances glucan and zymosan have a similar positive effect on the intestinal immune system. They work so well that special yeast products are successfully used to counteract holiday sickness.
You will find more information on this highly topical subject in our book on how yeast and bacteria can boost our health.

Healthy eating – just knowing how!
(only available in German)

Today we know that many different vitamins, minerals, trace elements as well as the newly researched secondary plant products are essential to our health and well-being. If some of them are missing from our diet we can become seriously ill.Our instincts don’t tell us, however, if we are taking enough of certain active substances. It’s only indefinite symptoms such as sleeplessness, loss of appetite, a weak immune system and lack of well-being that indicate an underlying deficiency. These symptoms can disappear if you follow the “right” diet. A healthy diet is relatively simple to follow if you know some facts about food products. You don’t have to resist all foods. The high nutritional value of our diet doesn’t just come from choosing the “right” food products but preparing them in a way to retain their nutritional value.Our new book on healthy eating can give you lots of practical tips on the subject. The easy to follow tables and colour illustrations provide all the latest scientific information on nutrients and active substances. This reference book is also ideally suited for teaching purposes.
