What is a calorie?
When it comes to a healthy diet, “calorie” is one of the most common terms. But do we actually know what it means, and what the optimal calorie intake is?
Fitness and Nutrition…
Let’s be honest: most of us feel at least a little guilty when it comes to our eating or exercise habits. One of the most characteristic problems of affluent societies is too much food and too little physical activity.
About Vegan Nutrition – Cool Vegans
The vegan diet is becoming increasingly popular. Vegans are the hardcore vegetarians who don’t consume any animal-derived foods – no milk, no eggs, not even honey. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of this diet?
Paleo Diet
More and more types of diets are becoming fashionable: meat-free, gluten-free, paleo, “reform,” organic. Most of them are characterized by the avoidance of certain foods or ingredients.
Why Should You Eat More Fish?
A 1998 study revealed that among those who ate seafood once a week or more, the incidence of sudden cardiac death was 52% lower than among those who only consumed it once a month. In Hungary, where more than half of all deaths are caused by heart and circulatory diseases, this fact is particularly striking.
Gluten-Free Meals
Could you be gluten-sensitive too?
Gluten sensitivity is an autoimmune disease that can damage multiple organs. Its trigger is gluten, the storage protein found in grains. It is one of the trickiest forms of food intolerance because its symptoms can be extremely varied — often so much so that people don’t even realize they are gluten-sensitive.

And yet, all this suffering could be avoided simply by cutting out gluten-containing grains.
What Makes a Dish “Hungarian”?
We Hungarians are famously divided — and this tendency shows in how we relate to so-called Hungarian dishes. Some people get misty-eyed when they hear words like gulyás, pörkölt, paprikás, halászlé, székelykáposzta, derelye, rakott krumpli, or hurka-kolbász. Others, however, turn away with a grimace, dismissing these as symbols of backwardness, unfit for the 21st century, relics of the shepherds of the plains.
What Makes You a Gourmet?
What Makes You a Gourmet? Is it even important to be a gourmet? If someone wants to live like an ascetic, why should they strive for gourmet taste? Perhaps because most people think they love food, yet they stuff themselves with rubbish — in other words, junk food. Eating hot dogs by the roadside every […]

MindFoodness, that is mindful eating.
The very meaning of “mindfulness” is conscious presence. It has come from Eastern philosophies into the terminology of Westerners who follow a conscious lifestyle. Techniques of mindful presence allow us to perceive reality on all levels instead of the images our mind produces. The conscious encounter with reality is healing for the mind and body and is […]
