AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE WE HAVE PROVIDED YOU A VOUCHER CODE.
1) Take your time to cook
Easter is not just about sweets. Traditionally, people cook elaborately at Easter. It doesn't have to be Easter roast, of course. But try to use the days off to cook properly and put high-quality meals on the table. These should provide many important nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids , high-quality protein, zinc, magnesium, vitamin C and B vitamins. If something is missing here, you can help yourself with nutritional supplements.
Bone broth used to be a popular soup base. Bone broth is incredibly healthy because it is rich in collagen and minerals. Hardly anyone makes bone broth these days. However, with collagen powder, you can easily incorporate this valuable protein into your diet.
2) Sweets for dessert and with dark chocolate
There is an important rule when it comes to sweets. It doesn't just apply at Easter: they cause significantly less harm as a dessert than as a snack or on an empty stomach. Protein or fat in the stomach prevents blood sugar from rising.
You should also try to choose dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Firstly, it contains less sugar and secondly, cocoa is a good source of many minerals such asmagnesium , iron, potassium , zinc and manganese.
3) Take a digestive walk after eating
At Easter, a little exercise is a must. A digestive walk after eating is a great way to enjoy the hopefully lovely Easter weather. You can also support your digestion with papain .
Even if it is sunny, unfortunately in Germany vitamin D can hardly be produced through the skin at this time of year. So you should continue to supplement vitamin D.
4) Traditionally dye, hide & eat eggs
Dyeing eggs is a wonderful Easter tradition. You can continue it with a clear conscience, because eggs are healthy and an excellent source of many nutrients. They provide high-quality protein and are rich in B vitamins , vitamin A, iron, zinc and selenium .
Selenium is often lacking in the diet. A deficiency in vitamin B6, folic acid (vitamin B9) and vitamin B12 is also widespread. Here, too, you can help with dietary supplements. Amino-8 from Viktilabs contains all 8 essential amino acids, which ensure a good supply.
Conclusion: Easter can easily be made healthy
Easter doesn't have to be unhealthy. With a few little tricks, you can do something good for yourself and your health during the holidays. Treat yourself to good food and try to hold back on sweets. And most importantly: enjoy the time with your family.
Viktilabs wishes you a Happy Easter!
