Wintersalad with fennel and apple

A delicious salad with fennel, mizuna salad, wild herbes, apple, peeled hemp seeds, sesam seeds, hemp oil, vinegar, salt, pepper - very refreshing!

"Markthalle 9" - its like paradise there....

Today I bought my food like every saturday in Markthalle 9 - my favourite markethall in Berlin - its an fantastic atmosphere there, just around my corner in Kreuzberg. Its mostly organic and always regional (exept some bananas) - the avocados I bought somewhere else.
There is a guy who is even selling wonderful wild herbes - great for my green smoothies.

I think I fall in love with this huge blendermonster....

my statement about food

Be always aware about what you eat - but dont make a science out of!

Our food is food for our cells - not just to fill us. This is the most important to know.
White bread with margarine and marmelade, a coffee with milk - nothing, nothing of it is healthy. Chips, Coke, sausages, milkshakes.....not ONE cell in your body needs this stuff. But you need your cells to stay healthy.

I eat fruits and vegetables as often as possible raw. But why ever and always and just and only raw??? Cooked food is not empty stuff - quite the contrary cooked food makes a lot of nutritions even more absorbable for the body. Even meat (whatever I read about) is good for our body - if we enjoy it from time to time (and of course: just and only organic).

I believe:
- fruits and vegetables (especially green smoothies!!), raw and cooked
- wild herbs
- good oils like linseed-, hempseed-, olive- and coconut oil
- cooked quinoa, buckweat, amaranth and millet
- legumes
- seeds like flax, sesam, sunflower...
- steamed or grilled meat and fish (just from time to time)
- a red wine or a beer (just from time to time)
- lots of water and green and white tea
- plus B12 supplement
and our body gets everything what he needs and deserves - to be happy, healthy and balanced!

Concerning calories: I never counted calories, I even dont have a scale. Im just listening to my body and stop eating when Im not hungry anymore. I am 44 and I always was slim. And I am not a sport maniac!

And, of course, organic food is the better decision - in the first instance politically. But if you cant efford it - dont believe vegetables from the supermarket are "empty" - its still much better than a pizza and a donat with a coke.

The question should always be: is this good food for my cells - yes or no?

And: Enjoy food. Food is life.
