When it comes to everyday cuisine, mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, truffles and the like are considered delicacies, which, however, do not meet with approval from all of us. In contrast, medicinal mushrooms, which include the varieties Shiitake, Reishi, Maitake and others, are less important in terms of nutrition than in terms of health. But what makes it so incredibly valuable for our organism? Or are these just unsubstantiated claims?

The best proven way to prevent pregnancy is to avoid sexual intercourse. However, this is a path that is of course not an option in the long term, the drive suppression does not work in the long term, neither in men nor in women. And if sex falls short in a relationship or doesn't happen at all, it's definitely not healthy, both psychologically and physically.

That people prefer good smells to unpleasant smells: logical. Our nose is not as fine as that of other species, but our olfactory organ is completely sufficient to sniff out whether food is spoiled, for example. And it's amazing that certain aromas put us in a good mood or help us health - we don't even have to consciously perceive these scents. Essential oils are responsible for the positive effects.

There is hardly a certainty in the broad field of nutrition that is as undisputed as the fact that children need to consume a lot of vitamins. Yes, adults also need these substances, but children are growing and the need for vitamins is even higher. Whether the nervous system, metabolism, immune defense, eyesight, the formation of red blood cells, iron absorption, bone and tooth preservation or cell division: All of these body functions require certain vitamins to run smoothly

The term "orange peel" has become established as a euphemism for cellulite, and somehow it sounds so harmless. That is exactly the keyword: cellulite is actually harmless, it does not result in any damage to health. Nevertheless, it is only too easy to understand that most women want tighter skin instead of the dents that usually appear on the buttocks and legs.

The oldest dream of mankind is probably not even being able to fly, but rather to stay young forever. It has been proven that no specimen of our species has ever been granted this. In the early 21st century, however, this dream is coming back to life, perhaps even stronger than ever. People want to be younger than they really are, and antiaging products are booming. But: is that justified? What can these products do?

If men didn't have their wives, then they probably wouldn't worry too much about the health of their skin. Because hints like "creamy yourself, also on your face" or "don't stay too long in the sun" would simply be missing, men tend to ignore or at least forget things like this for granted. But men's skin also remembers everything, and the same applies to facial skin. But what about the shave?

Quite a few men from the age of five are familiar with the problem: difficulties arise during sexual intercourse. Not because there is no desire, but because many attempts end before the sexual act even occurs. Serious erectile dysfunction is often responsible for this, and there can be several causes.

What exactly is high calorie food? It is a liquid meal replacement that is used in particular in the care of old and sick people who cannot - or no longer - eat as usual, i.e. who cannot tolerate solid food. Popular parlance calls this type of diet “astronaut food”, and not without good reason.

In the past, a stately - if not to say fat - appearance was the epitome of healthy, but above all wealthy people. But at the latest since it became known that a high body weight has significantly more disadvantages than advantages from a health point of view, people strive for a low percentage of fat and want to lose weight. But what helps? Is meal replacement an effective means?

For many young mothers it is the most beautiful moment after the birth: the newborn is placed on the breast, looks around a little and then quickly finds the most valuable source of food it can get. But what about those babies who cannot get breast milk because the mother cannot or does not want to breastfeed? Is commercial baby milk able to provide the infant with all the necessary ingredients?

Since the beginning of 2020, hardly a day has passed without hearing or reading the statement “when Corona is over”. However, there are increasing voices who are of the opinion that there will be no «after Corona», even if the pandemic has disappeared virologically. Because our behavioral patterns trained by the virus - or at least some of them - are likely to remain.
