There is still a lot of catching up to do when it comes to nutrition - people often resort to unhealthy fast food. Dr. Georg Lexer explains at the "Gesund Leben" trade fair in Klagenfurt how a healthy lifestyle increases our well-being. His lecture will take place on Saturday at 11 a.m. on the "Frisch & G'sund" stage of the "Krone".

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food", as Hippocrates once said, but the effects that highly processed foods and convenience products have on our health are often overlooked. Lexer is convinced that "people first have to get back to the fact that if they eat a healthy diet - less sugar, more bitter substances, more good fats, less animal protein, more complex carbohydrates - they can reduce their years of illness". 

Buy regionally - quality instead of quantity
During his lecture "Medicine that comes from the kitchen", visitors will learn how healthy and sustainable nutrition affects the body. The motto is: more quality and less quantity!

"We should buy more regional produce, eat less processed food, cook for ourselves more often and reduce sugar," explains Lexer, for whom indulgent cuisine is a top priority: "I can enjoy myself even more if I take a break in between, for example during intermittent fasting - this really cleans out the body."

Diet, exercise and mental health play an important role in a balanced lifestyle. Traditional agriculture and its products are important to the experienced physician: "We know that animals have a much better fatty acid pattern in hay milk or cheese from mountain pastures." So if you don't want to take a wrong turn when it comes to nutrition, you should definitely stop by the "Gesund Leben Messe" at 11 a.m. on Saturday at the "Krone" Fresh & G'sund stage.
