Our current lives are essentially the result of our habits. We wake up, have breakfast with a Jake Shake, go to work, have a Vitamin Bar as a snack, dinner, watch a series and sleep.

Vegans do not consume foods or products that come from animals. Among other things, they do not eat meat, fish, eggs and dairy but at the same time they do not wear leather, silk and wool because these are also animal products.

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.

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.
All the foods you eat contain nutrients that are important to your body. These nutrients can be divided into macronutrients and micronutrients. The micronutrients are vitamins and minerals; of these, you only need a few micrograms or milligrams daily. Macronutrients (macro means “large”) you need in a much larger amount, namely tens to hundreds of grams per day. Because macronutrients make up such a large part of your diet, in this blog you’ll read all about exactly what macronutrients are, what types we know and why they are important.
Using shakes is one of the easiest and most popular ways to lose weight. It is quick to prepare, relatively inexpensive and it often has a nice taste that will make you keep drinking it longer. You lose weight with shakes as soon as you create a calorie deficit, this has been scientifically proven. A calorie deficit simply means that you burn more energy (calories) than you take in on that day. Your body then taps into the fat reserves in your body to get energy and this causes you to lose weight. Shakes can be very effective in losing weight if used properly.
