Resist The Consumer Trap
How can I avoid the temples of consumption we’re lured in nowadays, and still eat healthy? – A question arising among all those whose definition of “healthy” go beyond frozen pizza. In the end, one mostly has to decide for either quality or price.
Think Outside The Lunch Box
“Chief Of Happiness” and Yoga teacher Martin Svitek lives vegan since 2012 without having to convince others of his preferences. “Each according to his gusto”, he says. Important is to be mindful when choosing food: Veggies grown with love don’t necessarily need a certificate.
Practice Mindfulness Every Moment
