Was bedeuten die Biosiegel?

Wenn man im Supermarkt einkaufen geht, ist es oft nicht einfach, die besten Produkte zu identifizieren. Bei der Fleischtheke kann man noch nachfragen. Wie ist das aber mit abgepacktem Fleisch oder Obst und Gemüse? Woher weiß man da, unter welchen Voraussetzungen diese Produkte entstanden sind? Eine Hilfe dabei sollen die Biosiegel geben. Doch was bedeuten diese genau und wo sind die Unterschiede?

How to stay healthy despite having a desk job

Cornelia Menichelli  / pixelio.de
Having a desk job in which you sit 8+ hours a day is not the healthiest way off spending your day at work. We all know that. Our ancestors most definietly didn't spend much time on sitting and even if they did, it wasn't in a completely unnatural position as we use it. The sitting position causes your hip flexors to be tight and overactive while your hip extensors are being lengthened and weakened. Your glutes and hamstrings are completely inactive over the whole time. In addition to that most of us don't sit straight with tightened back muscles. Most of us rather slump which can lead to pain in your back and shoulders. So what can we do about all that?

Wie man trotz Büroarbeit gesund bleibt

Cornelia Menichelli  / pixelio.de
Wir alle wissen, dass ein Bürojob, bei dem man 8 Stunden oder mehr am Tag sitzt, nicht gerade die gesündeste Art ist, den Tag zu verbringen. Unsere Vorfahren haben ganz sicher nicht den ganzen Tag gesessen und selbst wenn sie saßen, dann nicht in so einer unnatürlichen Position wie wir. Sitzen spannt den Beugemuskel der Hüfte an während der Streckmuskel lang und schwach ist. Die Gesäßmuskeln und die hinteren Oberschenkelmuskeln sind ebenfalls komplett inaktiv. Zusätzlich dazu sitzen die wenigsten von uns wirklich gerade, mit angespannten Rückenmuskeln. Viele von uns hängen einfach irgendwie in ihrem Stuhl, da dies gemütlicher ist. Dies kann zu Rücken- und Schulterverspannungen und -schmerzen führen. Alles in allem also keine wünschenswerte Situation. Was können wir also tun, um diese zu verbessern?
