In today’s busy society, we are constantly exposed to a stream of stimuli, responsibilities and the present pressure to not only perform, but to live the perfect balanced life. Balance in terms of health, exercise, food choices, social interactions, chasing our dreams or simply relaxing and doing fun things. It can be easy for all these pursuits to neglect much-needed rest and restoration of our sleep.

There are also quite a few products that at first glance appear to be vegan, but are not when you delve into the ingredients and their origins. We have researched 10 of these foods for you and highlighted them in more detail below so that in the future you will know which products are better to leave out if you are vegan.
In your gut live trillions of bacteria. Together, they weigh as much as 1.5 kilograms! This is also called the gut microbiome or gut flora. The gut microbiome consists of 400-500 different types of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses and yeasts) whose composition is as unique as a fingerprint. The composition is partly in your control, especially through what you eat and have a big impact on how you feel. They also keep your intestinal wall healthy and have a great influence on your immune system. How you can have a positive influence on this will be further explained in this blog.
